problem with xpdf installation
 

Hi,

I'm using Mandrake Linux 9.2...I recently tried to install xpdf v3.00. But when I tried to ./configure I got the following warning...

configure: WARNING: Couldn't find X/Motif -- you will be able to compile pdftops, pdftotext, pdfinfo, pdffonts, pdftoppm, and pdfimages but not xpdf

And really as it warned, when I ran make and make install, the binary for xpdf was not there.

Can anyone please tell me how to get X/Motif?

one of the forums had a thread which discussed abt a similar problem....the suggestion given was to install XFree86-devel.....but it seems Xfree86-devel-4.3-23mdk has been alredy installed on my machine....

even when I tried to install open-motif, got error messages stating conflicts between XFree86-4.3-23mdk files and open-motif files....

Also wondering what is X/Motif....from what I've understood, it is a GUI tool for X windows environment...am i right?

I got the exact same error on Redhat 9. This fixed it for me:

./configure --prefix=/usr --with-freetype2-includes=/usr/include/freetype2

compiled and seems to run fine.

I had to write this crazy command line to persuade it to work:
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-freetype2-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 --with-Xm-includes=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/include --with-Xm-library=/usr/X11R6/LessTif/Motif1.2/lib
So u have to find XmAll.h and libXm.so and set it by these params: --with-Xm-library= --with-Xm-includes=
bye:)

On SLES 9 or Suse 9.1 this worked
 

./configure CPPFLAGS=-DFT_FREETYPE_H CXXFLAGS=-DFT_FREETYPE_H --prefix=/usr/X11R6 --with-x --with-freetype2-library=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-freetype2-includes=/usr/include/freetype2/
