Hello, i've tried installing t1lib with ./configure make make install It's not working. Here are my detailed results, in case anyone is able to understand this stuff. 1) tar xzf t1lib*gz (from the /usr/src directory) [that untarred and created the directory /usr/src/T1-1.0] 2) ./configure [I show the results below] root@host-name:/usr/src/T1-1.0 > ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for X... no checking for Athena... libraries /usr/X11/lib, headers in default path checking host system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld checking if the linker (/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld) is GNU ld... yes checking for BSD-compatible nm... /usr/bin/nm -B checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for object suffix... o checking for executable suffix... no checking for gcc option to produce PIC... -fPIC checking if gcc PIC flag -fPIC works... yes checking if gcc supports -c -o file.o... yes checking if gcc supports -c -o file.lo... yes checking if gcc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions ... yes checking if gcc static flag -static works... -static ecking for ld used by GCC... /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld checking whether the linker (/usr/i486-linux/bin/ld) supports shared libraries.. .. yes checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -B output... ok checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking for /usr/i486-linux/bin/ld option to reload object files... -r checking dynamic linker characteristics...
