Hi Guy,
Sorry for the lack of detail, it betrays my frustration, but i am determined
to overcome this. I am installing it on an old dell laptop, which is
running Mandrake 8.0
If the Gnome desktop is running then X must already be installed. The
question is how do I get the GTK application to find it.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Tony Paredes

If it's a version of Windows (there's some Microsoft Transport Neutral
Encapsulation Format - or whatever the heck TNEF stands for - stuff at
the end of your mail, so it looks as if you may have mailed it from
Windows), then you don't need X for GLib and GTK+.
If it's a flavor of UNIX (whether a commercial UNIX or one of the "free
UNIXes" such as {Free,Net,Open}BSD or a Linux distributions), it should
come with X, although it might not have been installed on the machine on
which you're trying to compile Ethereal.
