Hello,

I have a RedHat 9 installation that only has a directory named
bitmaps in the /usr/X11R86/include/X11 directory. When looking
at a RedHat 8 installation, I see a bunch of *.h files and other
things anchored off of the /usr/X11R86/include/X11 directory.
I doubt this is a difference in versions or is it?

I would like to get all the *.h include files that should be in
this directory because I'm building some code that wants to access
them. I've looked at various XFree86 packages from RedHat 9.0
but have not been able to locate the include files. Does anyone
know what I need to install in order to populate this directory?
I'm specifically looking for Xlib.h but I think others will also
be needed.

Thanks for your help, I've been downloading various rpms but have
not been able to locate any with the files that I need.

I'm pretty new to linux so if there is some method to find this
info on my own I would appreciate if you would pass it along.

On my system:

[john@starfleet john]$ locate Xlib.h|xargs rpm -qf
XFree86-devel-4.2.1-13.73.23

which means Xlib.h is provided by the XFree86-devel package.

This only works if the file is installed on your system, of course.
Otherwise, try http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php and just enter
the name of the file in the search field. Rpmfind will locate which
package(s) provide the file. Choose the one most suitable for your system
and you'll be set.
