Hi Dominik,

Than you for your help. However I still have the same problem.

I have a following symlink's

libXext.so -> libXext.so.6.4
libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.4
libXext.so.6.4

./configure --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include
--x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib.
without any luck.

I have NOT installed the devel version.

Please anybody - where do I go from here. ??
