My guess is that you've used a different combination of options, or standard options in an unexpected context (x86_64) and X isn't smart enough to realise where it put things.
To make things even worse, at some stage I decided to add a "/local/" to all things I compiled/installed myself, without "x86_64-receipes" from you and others... Not sure if that was a good idea any more. (But I didn't do such a thing for the X-stuff.) Simon Geard wrote: > So, if you're missing the ones for X, it'll be some kind of build > problem with X.

It's not exactly perfect in bash consoles (either.) Less'ing of old files show my local character alright, but less starts by asking "looks like a binary file, show anyway?" or something similar, maybe related to this? Pressing of local keys on the keyboard does however not work in the shell. I just get silence, or a beep.
