Yes, that's what I did. > I believe I use the Xlib versions of the mesa libs. xlibmesa-dev! OK, got it fixed. I was sufferring fom a mixture of sid and woody packages clashing. Some version of these libs conflicted with xbase-clients, but I went to sid and installed xlibmesa3, xlibmesa-dev (the missing header files) and xbase-clients and now I'm ok. Thanks! ...RickM...
