Thanks, Alexander, for the quick reply. I found the xorg-x11-devel package in my FC3 installation. (Please see below at the bottom of this email for the detail of rpm -qi xorg-x11-devel. ) Looking at the issue more closely, I found the error statement emphasing incompatable libXext.so in configure.log for configureing mplayer. Looking in /usr/X11R6/lib, the libXext.so was there. (Please see below at the bottom of this email for the details of these files) Here comes my questions: My first question is why not compatible? I could not find any package titled xorg-x11-Xext... in the update archive: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/x86_64/ My next question where to find this package that generate libXext? Looking at both the reply of rpm -qi on the xorg-x11 and xorg-x11-devel, I found the installated rpm packages was not of amd64 versions. At least the version number in the reply of rpm -qi did not show amd64. (please see below the rpm -qi reply) My third question is that I am having an amd64 box, does it mean I need to reload all relevant xorg amd64 packages? should they be xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1-12.FC3.1.x86_64.rpm? and xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1.x86_64.rpm? My fourth question is that why did FC3 installation disks of amd64 not install the correct version of X11 in my amd64 box? Appreciate anyone for any hint and help. ********************************* Here is the incompatible error in configure.log: cc /tmp/mplayer-conf-539-14799.c -o /tmp/mplayer-conf-21956-14799.o -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lX11 -lnsl /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so when searching for -lXext /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.a when searching for -lXext /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ..............
