As far as /usr/X11R6, there are *so* many packages out there that expect X to be there that BLFS would have to create a symlink to avoid breakages.
I've found that freeglut is the only BLFS package that has a problem with XFree86 installed in /usr. One other (non-BLFS) package had a similar problem that was solved the same way (by setting LDFLAGS) and then it all went swimmingly, all the way to a nice Gnome desktop. I can see no reason to create any symlinks. In fact I used to create three symbolic links that are no longer needed ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/X11 ln -sf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 /usr/lib/X11 ln -sf /usr/X11R6/include/X11 /usr/include/X11 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
