Apparently there is not much success in the GUI or X interface for FBB. I am editing the file ~/fbbsrc.704o/src/X11/Makefile When I run make it complained about not finding -lXpm For that reason I installed the following packages: imlib imlib-devel xpmdel Then I added the following paths to the lines: XINCLUDE = -I/usr/include/X11 -I/usr/include/Xm -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include XLIBS = -L/urs/lib/X11 -L/usr/lib -L/usr/share In this XLIBS I inserted the news paths between the old paths and the modifiers or whatever the are. (-lXm -lXt -lXpm -lXext -lX11) I am really shooting in the dark in here. The new result was a different complaint. I am wishing this means I am getting closer, but I really don't know what to think of it? The complain is related to MD5. I guess this is a kind of signature for the files. I can send the output if someone wants to look at it. Probably it is time to take Rober Jenkins advice of: "Possibly you need to remove warning line from the makefile?" But I am not sure how to do that I hope that someone may get any idea with my new tries Neville YN1V Robert Jenkins wrote: >> From: Neville A.
