First, did you install X during installation? If not, go ahead and do so. On my 7.3 system, these files are part of the XFree86-devel package. To see if you have this package installed, type: $ rpm -q XFree86-devel This should return the package with the version number. The paths you've given are correct for XFree86-devel-4.2.0-8 which ships with 7.3. You can see where a file should be located in the version that ships with 8.0 with this command: $ rpm -ql XFree86-devel | grep libX11.a Or, you can use the locate command to see if the file is really there: $ locate libX11.a HTH -- Andrew Pasquale -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
