I'am trying to install gtk 1.2.6 and have run into trouble because the configure script does not recognise X, which I have installed from the FreeBSD 3.3.5 binaries off the Xfree.org web site. Kind folks from the gtk mailing list have suggested that the X development headers and/or libraries are missing. This is still stuff I struggle with so my first question is: do I need to install the X source from ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.5/source <ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/3.3.5/source>; in order to get these libraries? How would I go about compiling/installing the source (since due to size they come in 3 chunks), would it work (if yes why do they distribute pre-compiled binaries?) and what do I do with the existing X installation? Uninstall/remove first? I'm a little hesitant as you can tell since I'm feeling there is a lot of potential to break things... Thanks for any advice!
