Re: [bug-gv] Compiling gv-3.6.7: Configure can't find Xaw3d library

[George . Watt]

Thanks Guys,

The problem, it turns out, is that the xaw3d-devel package is not available in 
SLED11.  So I either have to load up an openSuse package, which compromises my 
SLED support contract, or use evince to view postcript.  openSuse also provides 
gv pre-compiled.
