Oh, and for those of you just > joining in, I'm trying to build, or install, XFree v4.3. I'm just joining in. Looks like you're trying to build a Woody backport of 4.3.0 - which one?

I still had to install one or two things from testing but it wasn't a problem. -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
