No. The reason for using --site-libraries=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} and --site-includes=${C_INCLUDE_PATH} is, that I've an old version of libpng in /usr/X11R6/* and a newer one at another place. In such cases it seems to be hard under Linux (it's no problem under Solaris) to get the right versions. One reason is the file /etc/ld.so.conf, which overwrites the settings of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Therefore it is hard (or impossible?) for a normal user to install a XEmacs with private versions of needed libraries like the png. I got the right version during the installation by using --site-includes and --site-libraries, but I'm not sure, which version I'll get during runing the XEmacs. Any ideas how to test that? Thanks, Heiko
