Hi HP,

Sorry for the late reply.  I have been (and am currently) in Florida at the 
Spring
AGU meeting...

Right.

I believe that you would need to search for x11-devel (no spaces),  but
I am not sure if I am remembering this correctly at the moment.  I will
check as soon as I can.

I think that the "fix" should be easy enough especially since I was able to
build in an openSUSE 10.3 virtual machine under VMware Player with no problems.
Your problem building must be caused by the X11 stuff being in an unexpected 
place.
the best approach is to regularize your setup, not to try and figure out a 
clever
way around the problem.

Let's work on your development during your visit to  Boulder in June.

Cheers,

Tom
