| Hi. When i try to compile a file i get the following error : /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Build Error: Failed to link When i tried to compile/rebuild the modules, i get the error : 38: X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h: File or directory not found I used to run BMax with no problems in the past... and i have a nvidia video-card with the official nvidia driver installed. And i use GNU/Debian Linux. How can i solve this problem ? Thanks. |

| You need to install the x windows developer package. |
| ||
| I've searched for many x11 dev packages and they all are installed.. damn. I'll try searching again... by the way, im using x.org, is there any difference because of that ? |
| ||
| Well it is looking for a library specific to XFree86. Which Linux distro are you using? |
| ||
| GNU/Debian i cant find this xf86vmode.h anywhere in my sistem, and cant find it in any Debian package also.. (www.apt-get.org) any help is welcome.. |
| ||
| problem solved.. thanks everybody. Solution : i had to install both libxxf86vm1_6.8.2.dfsg.1-10_i386.deb libxxf86vm-dev_6.8.2.dfsg.1-10_i386.deb They are UNSTABLE, and my system is testing so i had outdated versions of those libs.. i had to download them and install with dkpg. |

| You can install them stable (as of Debian Sarge) using apt-get install x-dev (which will install all x related development files, including the viewmode library) or apt-get install libxxf86vm. |

| libxxf86vm was already installed from the testing repository, but thats an older version and i could not make blitz 1.12 work with this. X-dev was also already installed. |
