Like I say, xlib6g-dev will solve that. > Now I have observed that on trying to link the qt2-doc > example I get /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz error instead of -lXext. Er, so that would be exactly the same kind of thing. When compiling executables, you need the appropriate -dev packages. In this case, zlib1g-dev. If you get 'cannot find -lsomething', use the search engine at http://packages.debian.org/ to search for 'libsomething.a' or 'libsomething.so', and ignore the runtime libraries which are 'libsomething.so.somenumber...'. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
