Try this: ./configure --help You'll get a huge list. Important is at least '--with-x'. Then you can manually choose the X tool kit, GTK or Lucid, as I recommend (Athena is very old not very attractive, Motif is not my choice, try a bit of 3D look with Xaw-3d). Since the compilation and installation went so fine, you could just try a few combinations to see which suits you best. Pay attention to the supported graphics formats, you might need them one day. -- Greetings Pete "Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things.
