I am trying to build R-patched from source on a (newly installed)
Fedora 17 system on a new laptop.

When I do the usual ./configure the procedure comes to a halt
with the error message:

configure: error: --with-x=yes (default) and X11 headers/libs are not
available

But X11 is installed, and when I did

      sudo yum install libX11-devel.x86_64

I was told that this package was also already installed.

What do I do to make the headers/libs "available" please?
FWIW, here I have all of these installed. I have no idea which ones are
required, but installed them is cheap, so probably worth testing:
libXScrnSaver-devel libXau-devel libXcomposite-devel libXcursor-devel 
libXdamage-devel libXext-devel libXfixes-devel libXft-devel libXi-devel 
libXinerama-devel libXpm-devel libXrandr-devel libXrender-devel libXt-devel 
libXv-devel libXtst-devel


The test (and an R build) needs libXt-devel as well as libX11-devel. As the manual does say ....

Cheers

      cheers,

P. S. Is there a way to get a binary version of R-patched for Fedora 17,
e.g. by using "yum install <something>"?  Nothing, that I could think of
to try, worked.

          R. T.
