Hey

I've never strayed outside of fedora updates and atrpms, so definitely
nothing more exciting than basic xorg installed.

The configure.log simply ends at:

============ Checking for GUI ============

The full log can be seen here :

As for libX11-devel:

> libX11-1.0.0-3.FC5.0 

As to reason for the rebuild, it was to enable software dts support,
which is enabled if you compile with libdts-devel present.

I've got quite a few movies I ripped with DTS back when I was using
windows, and since using mythtv for a few years the DTS support is
something I've only figured out recently.

I imagine its something a lot of people would benefit from, but then it
requires yet another dependancy to be installed with mplayer.

Is there anything that has changed majorly in the package in the last
revision? as it compiled with no problem up until this one.

thanks in advance

PS: Sorry if this arrives twice, the first version was too big for the 
list, it may still go through eventually though..
