Re: MEDM 3.1.4 + extensionsTop

Hi Mauro,

Thanks for the link.

It turns out I was being a noob. For Scientific Linux 4.5 the X11  
directories are still in /usr/X11R6/lib instead of /usr/lib which is  
where extensionsTop is looking for them.

Simply modified the appropriate CONFIG file and it compiles fine.
