But, point taken. > I defer to your expertise - I can't work out WTF is going on in the xkeyboard-config-0.9/configure script around line 2297, but I saw it was looking for intltool, and complaining if the version was < 0.30. But then, at line 2351 it says to use the tools built in to the package, not the one that are installed. I'm almost pissed-off enough to go back to xkbdata, but that would miss the fixes for mac (ppc) laptops [ not that blfs cares about non-x86 any more ] and the fix for Russian ъЪ (from memory, only one of those appeared in xkbdata in the phonetic variant, although arguably it wasn't a problem). So, I'll just have to say "oh well, I might not understand it, but at least it doesn't use perl to sort out the configure [ c.f. e.g. openssh ]." ;-) ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
