[XMakemol-discuss] Problems installing xmakemol

[Berit Hinnemann]

Hi,

 

I am trying to install xmakemol on an Opteron linux machine but configure says it cannot find the X11 libraries (they are where they should be but configure says they are incompatible). When I run ./configure I get the following

 

address@hidden xmakemol-5.15]$ ./configure

creating cache ./config.cache

configure: error: The X11 library '-lX11' could not be found.

                Please use the configure options '--x-includes=DIR'

                and '--x-libraries=DIR' to specify the X location.

                See the 'config.log' file for further diagnostics.

When I look into the config.log file I find the following

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

#include <X11/xpm.h>

 

int main() {

XtToolkitInitialize();

; return 0; }

found libXpm from /usr/X11R6/lib

    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */

char XOpenDisplay();

 

int main() {

XOpenDisplay()

; return 0; }

I am not sure what I could do. Has anybody an idea about how I could solve this?

 

Thanks,
