Well, normally. Since X seems to run fine on thousands of peoples machines, it presumably just needs *a* set of 2.4 kernel headers. kernel-headers-2.4.18-386 might work, and it's in woody. Install them and try again. > Also, where can I get this package from and what exactly is it called in > apt: > > warning: process set to nice value 0 instead of -10 as requested That's not really important, it just means that X tried to increase it's priority a bit, but failed. There is a reason for this, and it came up on the list a month or so ago, but I don't know what it is...Google is, of course, your friend. > X: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by X) This is because you're running a version of X that depends on the glibc from sid. Where/why did you install this? Also, you seem to be compiling X 4.1, which is already in woody...Any particular reason why? If you instead meant to get X 4.2, Eduard Bloch has already backported and built it for you; get it from http://people.debian.org/~blade/woody/. -- Rob Weir <rweir@ertius.org> http://ertius.org/
