I am running the configure script for povray 3.61 with the following:

./configure COMPILED_BY="Dave Downing" --x-libraries=/usr/lib64/  
LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64/"

Have also tried a few variations on that.

Resulting output in part:

checking for X... no
configure: X Window display will be disabled

I have /usr/lib64/libX11.so so that should not be the issue. Also libX11-
devel-1.1.4-1.fc9(x86_64) is installed.

After running make the resulting binary gives me good images, but I would 
like to see the X display while they are rendered.

Any ideas what I am missing?

System:

AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+
Fedora 9 x86_64
2 GB Ram

	Check the config.log file, i.e. search for the "checking for X" string
and look for the next few lines below it.  Hopefully you'll get an idea of
what is wrong.

Thanks Nicolas,

Your pointer got me sorted. The relevant bit was:

configure:8569: checking for X
configure:8675: g++ -E  conftest.cc
configure:8707:27: error: X11/Intrinsic.h: No such file or directory

A quick Google for Intrinsic.h gave me postings from several people 
having the same problem with Fedora not having that file and not sure 
which package provides it. The answer for the benefit of others with the 
problem is to install libXt-devel.

Thanks again.
