I'm building from BLFS SVN and have Xorg-7.0 installed. I added

not commented.
The build of firefox failed again but not at pango.
The issue (where to install xorg-7) is an interesting one. I prefer
installing it into /usr because then the shared libraries are in
/usr/lib (no need to edit /etc/ld.so.conf) the pkgconfig files are in
/usr/lib/pkgconfig (no need to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH) and the
include files are in /usr/include/X11 (no need to set any CFLAGS). It
just seems more straightforward to me, but each to their own ;)
Interesting idea. You're right. Overall it would be less engaging when
building things.
I got Firefox-1.5 to build and install. Without going into the details,
I recompiled gtk+, cairo and pango with the switches in ./configure I
mentioned above
Just to make sure, I put also put them in the .mozconfig file for
firefox, trashed the original firefox-build directory and started from
scratch. Everything went without a hitch.
Thought I'd mention these things because I don't know if it's a quirk in
my system the change, Xorg-7.0 (and, therefore, possibly 6.9), or the
way that gtk+, cairo and pango build now. When I built Firefox-1.5 on
my laptop with Xorg 6.8.2 I didn't run into this.
