Randy, I decided to try TeX Live on a fresh LFS-svn build. I had no optional dependencies installed.
make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/texlive/texlive-20100722-source/utils/xpdfopen' ... sendx.c:21:22: fatal error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory I tried with several options disabled: --disable-xdv2pdf --disable-xdvik --disable-xpdfopen --disable-xdvipdfmx --disable-xetex --disable-web2c It wouldn't go past texk: configure: error: Sorry, could not find X include and library files required for Metafont. I looked at an old version of mf (tetex 3.0) and no X was required. My recent try of TeX Live with the configuration errors did build X into Metafont. I do know something about Metafont. Don Knuth did not put any GUI into it. I'm getting to the opinion that TeX Live should not be in the book.
