It has happened to me in the past. The note is not in the Qt4 version because I did not see a problem. Since it says *may*, it does not really hurt to leave the note. > 2) This package (unfortunately) expects the X Window system to be installed > in > the /usr/X11R6 directory.

Using /opt allows a user to have multiple versions installed simultaneously and easily switch back an forth. This covers the situation where someone wants to update Qt and/or KDE from within a KDE session. For a one time install, or the situation where absolutely no mistakes are made, installing in /usr will work, but in my opinion, is not a wise approach for LFS users. However, you can use your rules for your own distro. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
