This is a known problem, due to the fact that on Linux which has both X11 libraries and MS libraries installed "in the usual places" people never want MS support (and in fact it conflicts with stuff detected later), while on Cygwin with similar detection people usually want both. This probably could be fixed, but the configure hackers consider it very low priority. It would require a system-specific test which is against the philosophy of configure, as well. A 3rd party patch would certainly be considered. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
