It is never xwindows. It is the 'X Window System'. It has the well know shorthand notation 'X'. Personally I think I'd say: This package expects the X Window system to be installed in the /usr/X11R6 directory. If you have installed X in any other location, ensure you have created a compatibility symbolic link as described in the <xref linkend="X11R6-compat-symlink"/> section. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
