[Asterisk-Users] cannot find -lXext when building * ?

[Low, Adam]

As Tilghman indicated X is definitely not required to build Asterisk, we run RH9 without any X related packages installed and it compiles and runs perfectly.

This leads to a question that has been bugging us for a while.

Is X required to build asterisk?  When we tried to do so on machines 
that didn't have any X libraries installed, we would get errors at link 
time building pbx.c

If we removed the lines that called for those libraries, asterisk would 
build, but then other weirdnesses would ensue and we finally just 
started installing the X libraries even though we will never run X on 
those boxes (low-end servers talking to one or two channels).

Could anyone comment on "the right way to do it?"  It's got to be either 
me or the code :-)

Thx.
