Re: emacs X11 will not compile

[eoakes]

Adding the package xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1-15.4.i586.rpm and the pages it require 
allowed emacs to compile for Xwindows. It took quite a while to find the 
necessary RPMs as they are not on the downloaded dvd nor could I find them on 
the suse site.

Thanks for the help!!!
