As I promised yestoday I have made a configure script for mnemonic. It is not quite ready yet (some how it misses to add -lX to X_LIBS ?). It have the extra options: --with-gtk=dir use gtk in dir --with-gtk-lib=dir use gtk-lib in dir --with-gtk-include=dir use gtk-include in dir --with-threadedxlib=dir use threadedxlib in dir What is left is to redo the Makefiles... Love
