Actually, I don't quite remember why. I think it was because we decided it was cumbersome to identify each package that looks for X in a specific location (/usr/X11R6). If I recall correctly, there was some package (could have even been a package not in BLFS) where the hard-coded /usr/X11R6 was not noted, so there was breakage. Again, if I recall correctly, we decided to create the symlinks because that way *all* packages will *always* work, providing they look for X in /usr/X1R6. The older way (BLFS-6.2 method) required us to keep up with packages that hard code X's location. This new method doesn't require us to do that. So it turns out to be much less of a maintenance burden on us. Feel free to use whichever method works best for you. -- Randy -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
