Unfortunately, since libtool transfers "needed" libraries forward into the .la files, you'll probably need to rebuild libX11 and all the libraries that depend on it. You need libX11 to drop its link to libxcb-xlib.so and remove the reference to libxcb-xlib.la in libX11.la. Then you'd need to rebuild libXext so that libXext.la no longer contains its reference to libxcb-xlib.la. Etc... Or remove all the references to libxcb-xlib.la in all your installed .la files. Or just remove all the installed .la files (this can cause issues in a couple cases, but using pkg-config alleviates most of them). -- Dan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
