I assume that the "&&" after "EOF" is a >typo ? No this is not a typo it is an instruction. You may want to review UNIX commands. Read the text before copying and pasting the commands. You are supposed to decide where you want to install XORG before running the commands. "<PREFIX>" should be the location where you want to install XORG, either in "/usr" or " /opt" >And finaly, when I try to type the configuration command by hand, it >complains about the --disable-static option (and ./configure --help says >that the option doesn't exist). You are not installing a package at this point so there is no ./configure. You are only setting up the environment for the XORG build. You may want to read the text rather than just copying and pasting everything. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
