Re: Where can I find X11R6.4 & LessTif binaries?

Thanks, Suhaib,

I have one more question.

According to LessTif Installation Instructions at LessTif home page,
LessTif needs automake and libtool,
and automake requires perl to be compiled,
those are not included in cygwin.

Currently, I'm using perl-5.6.0 and automake at CygUtils home
and libtool compiled from gnu source.

Is this a right proceedure?
