Hi,

as far as xmkmf is concerned..
You need to have the X windows compilation utilities installed....
i hope u will find info reg X11 Requirements in src/leap/0README.

also check for man page of xmkmf.

one solution is ..
u need to have the path for xmkmf. it is supposed to be in usr/X/bin..or
in the path where X is installed in your system and edit the script which
gave you the error "xmkmf not found.."

as xmkmf is a tool to create makefile from Imakefile, if you still have
trouble finding xmkmf...you can use Imake.
"imake -DUseInstalled -I/<PATH where X is installed >"
