It asked for: > /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgstinterfaces-0.10 I don't remember installing that either. A search in BLFS also failed to provide any such file. I guess it must be part of some other part of X11 installation. So I am planning to go for Xorg-6.9.1 installation. Just a query. Do I have to "de-install" that is remove some part of installed XFree86? There is no mention in BLFS of what to do if I want to install Xorg after installing XFree86. Regards
