Howdy
I am trying to install links2 with graphics support on snow leopard 10.6.8 (xcode installed). I have had the program running last year, also installed from source - but then I had installed some image libraries with mac ports and fink - cannot reproduce that setup. Plus I would like to not use ports or fink. I am assuming I need to pass some info to configure. /usr/local/lib/:/usr/X11R6/:/usr/include/X11/:/usr/X11/lib/ are in the PATH
I appreciate any hints on how to go about this. I use Links2 mostly for reading offline documents like the tldp html manuals.
thank you

configure: error: No graphics drivers found.
yes - OSX Terminal app. As me [the user] - GNU bash 4.1 (which I installed from source and made my default shell, replacing the bash 3.2 that Snow Leopard ships with). And yes, can run xclock & and up comes a small window with an analog clock and the terminal shows the process id. configure also complained about not finding the pkg-config script, but I just fixed that with: export PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config and now the complaint is gone but still no graphics drivers found.
You dont put header file paths in PATH. PATH controls where you look for executables and only executables.
Try ./configure --help to see what options it lets you set. Paste its output here too please. configure can be, well, configured by the programmer to have lots of different custom options but at least deals with them in a fairly consistent way.
thank you for pointing that out - serves me right for trying out things I do not understand - I will go and do some reading ...
and ... thank you for taking the time to help.

... and when I pasted the configure --help output into the above message I saw it - there right in front of me. So I ran configure again:
thanks, could have guessed after trying to fix my speeling error there ...
so. Dear moderator - if you like you can mark my quest [solved] and ... if you could transpose grapics > graphics, that would be awesome. Great forum, tons to read. Thank you for having me here.
btw ... I tried to read the ... Featured Books and Articles by Active Forum Members page but safari, firefox and seamonkey all give me :
(which I did ... I think) - now, guess what: my brandnew links2 graphics browser gets me that page with no fuss. I am stoked.
