grandr-applet vs. XFree86 >= 4.3

[Ben Williams <benw webmedia com au>]

howdy,

i'm trying to build gnome-2.4 on a redhat 9.0 box, using garnome-0.27.1. 
i've solved a few other bugs in the compile process (some wrong URLs, a 
couple of servers being unavailable [i fixed these by manually 
downloading the tarball from a different location and dropping it into 
the download directory of the relevant program], and a few -devel rpms 
not being installed on the box), but this one has defeated my 
(admittedly small) knowledge.

here's the relevant bit of the build: (i've got the whole output if more 
is needed)

so, it's not finding the relevant randr libs, and is complaining that i 
should install X >= 4.3. however:

[benw falcon meta]$ rpm -qa | grep -i xf
redhat-config-xfree86-0.7.3-2
XFree86-Mesa-libGLU-4.3.0-2
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-2
XFree86-xauth-4.3.0-2
XFree86-xdm-4.3.0-2
XFree86-base-fonts-4.3.0-2
xfig-3.2.3d-12
XFree86-xfs-4.3.0-2
XFree86-twm-4.3.0-2
XFree86-devel-4.3.0-2
XFree86-4.3.0-2
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-2
pyxf86config-0.3.5-1
XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-2
XFree86-font-utils-4.3.0-2
XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.3.0-2
XFree86-libs-data-4.3.0-2
XFree86-libs-4.3.0-2
XFree86-tools-4.3.0-2
[benw falcon meta]$

...so, X 4.3.0-2 is installed, according to rpm, along with (what looks 
like) the relevant -devel rpm.

any ideas?
