dpkg -l xlibs-dev gives it "un" flag, on trying to install, there are
dependecy problems with xlibs X client library.
I could not find it in debian pototo cd 2.2 r5 1 & 3; so I have to
download it. Why it is not there is a mystery.

If it is not installed, how do you explain the following -

ldconfig -p |grep *Xext* gives follwoing-

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Apr 10 19:49
libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.3

In the /usr/X11R6/lib ls -lF *Xext* gives -

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Apr 10 19:49
libXext.so.6 -> libXext.so.6.3
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root        44456 Feb 12  2001 libXext.so.6.3

Thanks

Sachin
