[XMakemol-discuss] Problem Installing Xmakemol

[dawood]

I'm attempting to load Xmakemol 5-15 on a PC running SUSE 9.3.  When I try to 
run configure I get the following error message related to XOpenDisplay.  



linux:/usr/local/src/xmakemol-5.15 # ./configure

                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.

The following appears to be the relevant part of config.log.

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure: failed program was:
#line 2554 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
/* Override any gcc2 internal prototype to avoid an error.  */
/* We use char because int might match the return type of a gcc2
    builtin and then its argument prototype would still apply.  */
char XOpenDisplay();

int main() {
XOpenDisplay()
; return 0; }
