That is a function from the X window system, maybe you need to install xdevel.rpm.

Thanks, but unfortunately, it is installed. Is this where the file should be? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Owens mtn@redmeadow.com Bigfork, MT. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

I am trying to compile a program and it appears I don't have XOpenDisplay on

XOpenDisplay is defined in /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xlib.h. But what is the error you're getting? Is the missing definition (which should only give you a warning) or is the function missing from the library. You should have posted the actual error message itself, as that would have made things quiter a bit clearer

The message was that the file (or function as I now know) was missing. My problem was that I needed to be more specific in the config file as to where the libs and includes were located. Suse hides them in different places than most config files want them to be. Thanks for the help from those of you that tried to help. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Owens mtn@redmeadow.com Bigfork, MT. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

For the base X11 libs, and libXt *is* one, that's simply not true! The header files *ARE* in /usr/X11R6/include and the base X11 libs *ARE* in /usr/X11R6/lib and those are the default places for them. *Please* tell me what you think was in the wrong place, or at least where the config file searched them, as I really interested to see if it's really our configuration or just a dumb config file.

Unless proven otherwise, I believe taht quoted statement to be untrue. So prove me wrong ;-)

Perhaps my statement is false and so are my assumptions. The config file (freeciv-1.10.0) had this: x_includes=NONE x_libraries=NONE which I changed to /usr/X11R6/include and /usr/X11R6/lib to get it to work. My assumption was that there were some default settings that I was changing, which has happened before. Since I am not a programmer, I am not sure. Would they really have set the config file so that it wouldn't compile on any system? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Owens mtn@redmeadow.com Bigfork, MT. -------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
