This happened on a new snow leopard install. It looks like that Apple decided not to include any .la with their X11 SDK.

Yes, unfortunately the only way to deal with this is to delete all the *.la files in /sw that make reference to the nonexistent libs or other *.la files.

I found the easiest way is to use the z-shell's recursive globbing property:

% sudo /bin/zsh

# cd /sw/lib

# rm -f  **/*.la

# exit

Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks again,
