    Alan,

    I had the same problem and fixed it by installing
    XFree86-static-libs-4.2.0-10mdk (off the Mdk8.2 discs). Advice from various
    quarters to do -- ./configure--disable-static, make UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0, and
    make UNIX_CAN_BUILD_STATIC=0 install were all to no avail.
    If you then have trouble with incompatible libpng as I did then install
    libpng3-static-devel - from RPMFind - (to match your libpng and libpng-devel) -
    this fixed my problem. See the recent thread "Abi 1.0.3 will not load images &
    the spellcheck spouts gobbledy-gook"
