I have this little convenience program I like to use called setnumlock. It can be found/downloaded at http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/cg_x11numlock.html. I've used it on every FC release since FC2. It will set numlock at login. When I try to install it with FC4t2, I get this error; # make gcc -L/usr/X11R6/lib Numlock.o -o setnumlock -lX11 -lXtst /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lX11 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [program] Error 1
According to the README file with setnumlock, you need the C compiler (series d, package gcc) and the include files of the X libraries (package xdevel, series x). I did #yum install gcc and this is the return. # yum install gcc Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories development 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 extras-development 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 960 kB 00:06 developmen: ################################################## 3493/3493 Added 220 new packages, deleted 220 old in 17.36 seconds Parsing package install arguments Nothing to do
I'm assuming that gcc is already installed. Is this correct? If I do #yum install xdevel, this is the return;
# yum install xdevel Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories development 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 extras-development 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 960 kB 00:27 developmen: ################################################## 3493/3493 Added 220 new packages, deleted 220 old in 17.23 seconds Parsing package install arguments No Match for argument: xdevel Nothing to do
Okay.... given that I'm somewhat ignorant with yum, please accomodate my ignorance, and give me some advice on what I need to do. Thanks, owa
