sorry. the debian system I'm using as a ready-made beowulf cluster. I'm much
more familiar with SuSE...

no I didn't use those. I just used the sources from the xmedcon website.

I do need those. How do I get the debian diff then?
(Sorry, I'm obviously a debian newbie)
Why aren't the diffs in the official xmedcon distro anyway?

ah no! I have those. Indeed, otherwise I wouldn't see those include files I
mentioned. (I also managed to compile AMIDE, which needs them as well).
No, the problem is that my xmedcon.h refers to gtk/* include files, while I
have gtk-1.2/* etc. I could put in links of course, but because this is a
failsafe system with lots of fancy stuff, I don't really feel like doing
that.

So, If you tell me where those diffs are, I'll see what happens.

Thanks for the help!
