If your machine isn't a pure server machine, there should be X11 on it. Try /usr/X/. But since GDs configure script couldn't find it, you are probably out of luck Installing X11 is no small task. You might try to copy the X11 libraries from a solaris machine with X11 installed, if available	[reply]

so install X11 to the same place as you're trying to install libgd?	[reply]

lol, I don't know :D A guess, follow http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X11 http://www.x.org/wiki/Releases/Download?action=show&redirect=Mirrors This says x11 is included with solaris 10 another guess	[reply]

It seems that you need Solaris packages containing Xpm, which should be available on an installation Solaris DVD: SUNWxwinc contains the X11 header files (including X11/xpm.h) SUNWxwplt contains the X11 libraries (including libXpm.so*) SUNWxwplx contains those same X11 libraries for 64-bit platforms	[reply]
