Of course. :) I have X in /opt/xorg, qt in /opt/qt->qt-3.3.8d and trinity in /opt/trinity. My PATH is: /opt/qt-4.8.0/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin: /opt/texlive/2011/bin/x86_64-linux:/opt/llvm/bin: /opt/qt/bin:/opt/trinity/bin:/opt/xorg/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin PKG_CONFIG_PATH is: /opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xorg/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/xorg/share/pkgconfig /etc/ld.so.conf is: /usr/local/lib <- empty /opt/lib <- empty /opt/xorg/lib /opt/llvm/lib /opt/qt/lib /opt/trinity/lib > Linux-PAM & PolicyKit are not loaded.

I also had to turn off xinerama support. That sounds like it's having problems finding your xorg headers and libraries. Adding -l and -I parameters is needed where they are not found. Perhaps there was a problem with PKG_CONFIG_PATH. > I think I will have to study cmake and stick with KDE4 which, > it seems, will never be ready for beta testing. I haven't built KDE4 yet. I'm just starting to look at it. I like Trinity because you only need to build 3 main packages to get started (but it's harder now with cmake). I generally only use the window manager, konsole, kicker, and a couple of minor utilities. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
