You shouldn't need to do that. If you made that symlink, it would only be working around a bug in some other software. Can you give more details about linking to libX11 failing? What was make trying to link? Can you show the actual command? -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
