---------- Post updated at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous update was at 08:54 AM ----------

... and when I pasted the configure --help output into the above message I saw it - there right in front of me. So I ran configure again:

Code:
./configure --x-includes=/usr/include/X11/ --x-libraries=/usr/X11/lib/ --enable-graphics

and voila:

snip...<>
Code:
checking for TIFFClientOpen in -ltiff... yes
updating cache ./config.cache
creating ./config.status
creating Makefile
creating config.h
---------------------------------------------------------
Configuration results:

GPM support:		NO
SSL support:		OPENSSL
Supported compression:	ZLIB BZIP2
Graphics enabled:	YES
Graphics drivers:	X
Image formats:		GIF PNG XBM JPEG TIFF
---------------------------------------------------------

I will be bold and do a make on that now .... hang on.

yep - installed and is running. ... btw - how do I put [solved] on the starter post?
