Linux configuration to support dejagnu?

[Carlo Wood]

| I'm sure this is an elementary question covered somewhere in the FAQ's, but I
| can't find it.  I'm running i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1, from RH5.0 CD, but
| configure complains about xmkf not finding includes or libraries, no matter
| that I've installed all seemingly relevant RPM's.  Where can I find the
| recipe?  My NT box has taken a big step toward the grave with the installation
| of Service Pack 3, it seems no longer able to act like a computer.

Basicly, xmkmf (which generates Makefiles for the X windowing system from
templates) uses information that get stored while compiling XFree86.
So, I suppose you might not have installed XFree, or not enough.
On the other hand: You do not need the 'X' utilities that come with
dejagnu to run 'make check' for egcs.  I did not install the rpm's
for Tcl and friends (I hate that stuff) and that was enough for me
to cause dejagnu configure to decide it wouldn't compile the X utitilies.

Hope this helps a bit, if not then I could dig deeper, if you tell me
what you are missing for instance, then I can see what package that
belongs too.

>rpm -qa | grep XFree                        
XFree86-libs-3.3.2-13
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-3.3.2-13
XFree86-SVGA-3.3.2-13
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-3.3.2-13
XFree86-3.3.2-13
XFree86-devel-3.3.2-13

I suppose you need the latter, but that is also the rpm that contains
xmkf.  Maybe you ran out of diskspace during install of these rpm's?
