Harold, On ~ line 66158 of my build log, you'll notice this:

Let's assume I have followed the directions exactly (because this is what has happened in the past when I followed them exactly). When cross-compiling, why is make World trying to use the foreign utilities to build the fonts? Shouldn't it be using the utilities under /usr/X11R6/bin? I don't know if this relates to your comments below, but it is very annoying. --- Harold Hunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Alan, > > Hmm... as usual I misspoke...
