Hello,

i was trying to compile the latest cvs on a fedora core 6 with gcc 4.1.1 and i got the following error that I solved adding a -lXft switch to the compiling line.

drag.o: In function `Get_window_coords':

I solved this by editing the Makefile and adding -lX11 to the LIBS variable.

Makefile:
...
LIBS = -lasound
...

after change:
...
LIBS = -lasound -lX11
...

Glad you were able to get past this. I'd expect that autoconf/automake would have added the "-lX11".
