Dear X-Developers! In the beginning I would like to emphasize, that I am sure the errors ocurring during compilation are my fault, but I do not see any hint how to solve the problem properly. Thanks in advance for your assistance! Matthias During compilation I received the error message below. (see Appendix 2) Since the file in question is availabel at different locations already I could extend the includepath, but I assume, that this is not the right way. Besides I do not know which to take. uname -r : 2.6.8.1-12mdk Version: latest tar files X11R6.8.1 --------------------------------------------------- Appendix 1 ../xc/lib/font/fontfile/zlib.h ../xc/lib/lbxutil/lbx_zlib/lbx_zlib.h ../xc/lib/lbxutil/lbx_zlib/zlib.h ../xc/include/extensions/lbxzlib.h ../xc/extras/freetype2/src/gzip/zlib.h ../xc/extras/freetype2/src/gzip/lbx_zlib.h ../xc/extras/zlib/zlib.h --------------------------------------------------- Appendix 2 gcc -m32 -c -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wundef -I../../../include/fonts -I../include -I../../../programs/Xserver/include -I../../../exports/include -I../../.. -I../../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DFONTDIRATTRIB -DBUILD_SPEEDO -DBUILD_TYPE1 -DBUILD_CID -DBUILD_FREETYPE -DFONT_ENCODINGS_DIRECTORY=\"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir\" -DX_GZIP_FONT_COMPRESSION -fPIC fontencc.c rm -f gunzip.o unshared/gunzip.o gcc -m32 -c -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wundef -I../../../include/fonts -I../include -I../../../programs/Xserver/include -I../../../exports/include -I../../.. -I../../../exports/include -Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DFUNCPROTO=15 -DNARROWPROTO -DFONTDIRATTRIB -DBUILD_SPEEDO -DBUILD_TYPE1 -DBUILD_CID -DBUILD_FREETYPE -DFONT_ENCODINGS_DIRECTORY=\"/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings.dir\" -DX_GZIP_FONT_COMPRESSION -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -fno-strict-aliasing gunzip.c -o unshared/gunzip.o gunzip.c:9:18: zlib.h: No such file or directory gunzip.c:12: error: syntax error before "z_stream"
you are missing the zlib development package. Install it and the other dependencies listed in xc/BUILD.
