First of all, Stonki is right, a Symlink libXext.so is required. Do you a=
lso=20
have the devel package installed? I think the problem is another one, you=
r=20
configure command seems to be wrong unless you X11 include files are also=
 in=20
/usr/X11R6/lib . Try the following configure command:
=2E/configure --x-includes=3D/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=3D/usr/X11R=
6/lib

CU Dom
--=20
