Sorry,

I am using RedHat 8.0

Are you running telnet or X-Windows to compile?

Is your DISPLAY variable set?

I've seen this before, though and it was a bad path in an environment variable. Validate the envronment, look at the install script and see what environment variables it uses.

Sounds more like you haven't intalled the X development packages.

See if you have the package XFree86-devel installed (rpm -q XFree86-devel).

This package includes a large number of files in /usr/X11R6/include/, all of the X include files.

If you don't, I'd suggest installing that package, along with the 'Xaw3d-devel' package, and possibly the 'Xft-devel' one too. This should cover all of your core X development needs.

Beyond that, you might want to look at the KDE development packages.. I'm picking that's wehre your next error lies.

HI,

it means you are missing *.h header file under /usr/X11R6/include/ directory.

Install XFree86-Devel package for getting all the required X header files.

Check is X is installed on your machine, rpm -qa | grep XFree86

if not install the X related RPMS
