Dear All,

I am working on Redhat distribution-7.0, in which i've upgraded
binutils, gcc, glibc, module-init tools. The kernel i am using is
2.6.12.

As my system was using 2.2 kernel and i wanted to upgrade it to 2.6, i
had to upgrade the above mentioned packages. Now, I want to upgrade
the GUI interface as well, which is not working in 2.6.12.

I started with XFree86 and got few errors. Then from mailing list
suggestions, I have downloaded the source files from x.org and now
after running command :
                           make world > world.log > 2>&1

I am getting the following errors in world.log:

I looked for expat.h and the file is there itself. So, why the file
cannot be found? I am not changing the hosts.def file. Do i have to
make any configuration changes there?

Can you please help?

Thanks and Regards,
Nupur
