# To subscribers of the xforms list from David Scriven <davidwriter@yahoo.com> :
I had a problem when trying to install
this to a non-standard directory. It
seemed to use this directory as the one to
search for the lib files (Xext, etc)
The command that crashed was the link step..
gcc -o ..lots of object files.. -L/non-standard_dir
-lXext -l....
so of course the whole thing failed as the
Xlibs are not there but in /usr/X11R6/lib
Is there an easy way to solve this or was I
doing something stupid?
These are the settings in my Imakefile - I am running
this on RH 7.3 with gcc 2.96
