Hi,

Both of you are right, of course. It was all my fault, as I discovered
several minutes after posting. Earlier this yera I had tried to build a
1.3.99 server, and did have the reverse problem - pixman-1 instead of
pixman. I tried to circumvent that by renaming everything back to
'-1'-less (which didn't work, needless to say). Anyway, this was still
in my build script, and I certainly had forgotten all of that.
To add insult to injury, my internet acces broke down right after
posting, so I wasn't able to admit my mistake right away ...

I've now used pixman-0.96. Compilation went fine, the new system wasn't
booted yet.

BTW: years and several (B)LFS ago, I could happily run X clients in
chroot and get the windows on the server running on the host system.
This no longer works: xterm Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0 (of
course I did xhost +localhost; even xhost + doesn't help). Now I have to
run an X server on a second machine, just to be able to unpack the JDK
sources. (I really loathe those interactive, graphical installers. I
want to script my installation!)

Apologies for the noise (and the rant)
Hans-Joachim
