I have ESD installed (more disk space than time to fight with dselect) but don't use it and don't want it in my XEmacs particularly. However, configure picks up the esd-config and assumes that I can build esd-enabled stuff. Since I don't have the development package installed (or something), configure panics with "CC can no longer build executables" because ld can't find -lesd. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
