Is this the proper place to discuss Unix programming??? Presuming that it is … I am attempting to compile and link some very simple X window programs. I downloaded the X window development SW into the /usr/src/X … just as the installation guide instructed me to do. However, when trying to include <X11/Xlib.h>, cc cant find it. Also, problems with linking. I am now explicitly telling it the directories to search: cc <pgm> – I /usr/src/X/usr/X/include -L /usr/src/X/usr/X/lib \ -lX11 and that seems to almost work. I get link errors stating that it cant find "getnetpath", "netdir_getbyname", etc. There must be an esier way. Any help would be appreciated. Anything I may have blundered in the installation?? This directory specification seems very messy. -Jay Pedersen
