[Solved] links2 --enable-graphics from source, configure error: no graphics driver found.

Howdy
I am trying to install links2 with graphics support on snow leopard 10.6.8 (xcode installed). I have had the program running last year, also installed from source - but then I had installed some image libraries with mac ports and fink - cannot reproduce that setup. Plus I would like to not use ports or fink. I am assuming I need to pass some info to configure.
/usr/local/lib/:/usr/X11R6/:/usr/include/X11/:/usr/X11/lib/ are in the PATH

I appreciate any hints on how to go about this. I use Links2 mostly for reading offline documents like the tldp html manuals.

thank you :-)

Is this normal?
When you compile, should we understand you are in a text terminal? as who?
can you from your terminal launch xclock & ?

yes - OSX Terminal app. As me [the user] - GNU bash 4.1 (which I installed from source and made my default shell, replacing the bash 3.2 that Snow Leopard ships with). And yes, can run xclock & and up comes a small window with an analog clock and the terminal shows the process id. configure also complained about not finding the pkg-config script, but I just fixed that with: export PKG_CONFIG=/usr/local/bin/pkg-config and now the complaint is gone but still no graphics drivers found.

You dont put header file paths in PATH. PATH controls where you look for executables and only executables.

Try ./configure --help to see what options it lets you set. Paste its output here too please. configure can be, well, configured by the programmer to have lots of different custom options but at least deals with them in a fairly consistent way.

... 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?
