It often has something to do with X libraries, but that's just a wild guess. Also, do you have all the relevant -dev packages installed? The distros have a habit of not including pieces that are necessary to development to save space. In particular, I think with the disaggregated X distribution, they often omit even libraries that contain things like the basic bitmaps for stippling backgrounds and the like (since there are now "better" ways of doing those things, or because they're not used in "modern" toolkits, specifically GTK+ and Qt). By the way, if your intent is to try out the Xft feature, you need to add '--with-xft=emacs' to the configure line, and you probably don't want either '--with-xfs' (--with-xft=emacs,menubars will look better) or '--with-xim' (which is a deprecated input method mostly used by kanji-using scripts). _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
