MythTV 0.24.1 on Slackware 13.37 - ERROR: libXxf86vm not found


Hi all,

I'm running a minimal slackware distro (SlaXBMC) and trying to install MythTV from the following slackbuild...

http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13...imedia/mythtv/

I've installed all the dependencies (OMG - the horror!) but when I'm executing the slackbuild script it ends with this;

Code:
mythtv-0.24.1/themes/mythuitheme.xsd
mythtv-0.24.1/themes/themes.pro
mythtv-0.24.1/themes/themestrings.h
mythtv-0.24.1/version.pro
mythtv-0.24.1/version.sh
ERROR: libXxf86vm not found

If you think configure made a mistake, make sure you are using the latest version from SVN.  If the latest version fails, report the problem to the mythtv-dev@mythtv.org mailing list or IRC #mythtv on irc.freenode.net Include the log file "config.ep" produced by configure as this will help solving the problem.
Initally I thought I might be missing some dependancy, but


#slackpkg search libX produces;

Code:
The list below shows all packages with name matching "libX".

[ installed ] - libX11-1.4.3-x86_64-2
[ installed ] - libXScrnSaver-1.2.1-x86_64-1

[ installed ] - libXxf86misc-1.0.3-x86_64-1
[ installed ] - libXxf86vm-1.1.1-x86_64-1
and #slackpkg search libdrm produces;

Code:
The list below shows all packages with name matching "libdrm".

[ installed ] - libdrm-2.4.23-x86_64-
So apparently I have all the relevant packages installed.

Just to double check, I hit up locate and it spits out the following;

Code:
/usr/doc/libXxf86vm-1.1.1
/usr/doc/libXxf86vm-1.1.1/ChangeLog
/usr/doc/libXxf86vm-1.1.1/COPYING
/usr/doc/libXxf86vm-1.1.1/README
/usr/doc/libXxf86vm-1.1.1/INSTALL
/usr/lib64/libXxf86vm.la
/usr/lib64/libXxf86vm.so.1
/usr/lib64/libXxf86vm.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib64/libXxf86vm.so
/var/log/packages/libXxf86vm-1.1.1-x86_64-1
/var/log/scripts/libXxf86vm-1.1.1-x86_64-1
Which would seem to indicate that it's installed.

I've cracked open the mythtv.tar.gz and looked at the configure file (which is being executed by the slackbuild script) and found the following lines;

Code:
if enabled x11; then
require libXxf86vm X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h XF86VidModeSetClientVersion -lXxf86vm
require libXinerama X11/extensions/Xinerama.h XineramaQueryExtension -lXinerama
require libXext X11/extensions/Xext.h XMissingExtension -lXext
fi
This seems to be the only mention of the libXxf86vm module.

What I can't figure out at this point is *where* it's checking to see if this module exists, and why it thinks it's not installed.

Anyone come across this before / have any ideas?

I'm pretty new to slackware, so please use newbie speak in any replies

The X11/extensions directory is probably relative to /usr/lib or /usr/lib64 depending on whether you are installing 32-bit or 64-bit. Having the shared libraries for Xxf86vm isn't good enough when you're trying to build against them. You also need the header file (xf86vmode.h in this case). Do you have that file installed?
