I was sort of hoping you'd comment on this thread, but you must have overlooked it: http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/blfs-dev/2007-June/017305.html What I ended up finding is that almost all autotooled packages will find your X installation if they use the macro AC_PATH_XTRA and you have the imake package installed. What it boiled down to is: 1. Handle special cases one by one. I've only found two packages that specifically needed to be told where X was if you have all of Xorg installed: Python and Qt. 2. Add a compat symlink /usr/X11R6 -> $XORG_PREFIX. I'm fine with either. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
