However, just for the record, there a more than two files: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~/BLFS > ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/pkgconfig total 28 -r--r--r-- 1 root root 327 Feb 23 15:48 xcomposite.pc -r--r--r-- 1 root root 456 Feb 23 15:48 xcursor.pc -r--r--r-- 1 root root 308 Feb 23 15:48 xdamage.pc -r--r--r-- 1 root root 297 Feb 23 15:48 xevie.pc -r--r--r-- 1 root root 295 Feb 23 15:48 xfixes.pc -r--r--r-- 1 root root 468 Feb 23 15:48 xft.pc -r--r--r-- 1 root root 235 Feb 23 15:48 xrender.pc -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 11:52:00 up 30 days, 11:25, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
