I have just installed Mandrake 8.0 and am very impressed, particularly with KDE2 and especially now Kdevelop is back. The immediate problem is with compiling xboard. At first it would not work because some library or other was not installed. I installed a few X libraries as RPMs and it compiles, but the (white) pieces no longer have the black boarder around their edges, characteristic of the later xboard versions. This is xboard 4.2.3 Does anyone know which libraries (preferably RPM on the distribution disk) I need to compile xboard properly. One possibility may be Xpm, but I could not find this on the distribution CD. Compiling xboard used to work straight out the box with Mandrake 7.0 and 7.2 Frank //----------------------------------------------- ./configure --enable-zippy loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc...
