    Thanks, Alexander, for the quick reply.
    I found the xorg-x11-devel package in my FC3 installation. (Please see
    below at the bottom of this email for the detail of rpm -qi
    xorg-x11-devel. )
    Looking at the issue more closely, I found the error statement
    emphasing incompatable libXext.so in configure.log for configureing
    mplayer. Looking in /usr/X11R6/lib, the libXext.so was there. (Please
    see below at the bottom of this email for the details of these files)

    Here comes my questions:
    My first question is why not compatible?
    I could not find any package titled xorg-x11-Xext... in the update
    archive: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/3/x86_64/
    My next question where to find this package that generate libXext?
    Looking at both the reply of rpm -qi on the xorg-x11 and
    xorg-x11-devel, I found the installated rpm packages was not of amd64
    versions. At least the version number in the reply of rpm -qi did not
    show amd64. (please see below the rpm -qi reply)
    My third question is that I am having an amd64 box, does it mean I
    need to reload all relevant xorg amd64 packages? should they be
    xorg-x11-devel-6.8.1-12.FC3.1.x86_64.rpm? and
    xorg-x11-6.8.1-12.FC3.1.x86_64.rpm?
    My fourth question is that why did FC3 installation disks of amd64 not
    install the correct version of X11 in my amd64 box?

    Appreciate anyone for any hint and help.
