I was so happy to see this thread. I just downloaded the new AS,
followed the directions, I RTFM'd all I could and have the exact same
problem. I do have more info to provide:
1. I run redhat 5.1 (yes, I read the README.RedHat)
2. When I run ./configure everything looks good. no errors.
3. make cant find X11. None of the x modules (??? Im not a programmer)
are found. Therefore, no compile.
I am thinking its RedHat directory structure problem. Any thoughts? Is
the other guy running RH?
Thanx for any help,
Derek

Sure, what you might want to do is use 'find / -name "afterstep"
-print', it may
look longer but I've had success with that and that may return filenames
and the
way you did it may not. Usually, if you do a make mrproper or make
clean or
something like that, it will clean out all the files so all your left
with is
the source and the binary, but it may erase the binary too so you might
want to
try the other find command and make sure it returns directories and not
the file
you need looking like a directory.
