Re: Compiling X

[Ron Rademaker <ron@taco.dhs.org>]

Why are you compiling X??????????????????????????????????????
Do you know debian packages?????
To my experience they work a lot easier then compiling yourself....
Just download the .deb packages you need (or use apt, you want the newest
x but perhaps you don't want to upgrade your whole system to potato or
woody, in that case you should download) and install them using dpkg...
