[MINC-users] xdisp does not build on Debian Etch

[EJ Nikelski]

Hi all,

    FYI, just tried to build xdisp-4.5 (retrieved from packages.bic...)
 and apparently xdisp wants/needs the EZWGL widget library --- as
evidenced by the make complaining about not finding EZ.h. Perhaps this
dependency should be noted in the README/INSTALL files and/or have the
.configure process look for it.

    At any rate, I found and built EZWGL-1.50 as a static lib. Retried
to make xdisp, and was presented with a brand new error, as follows:

Any ideas?
