Quoth Marcus Brinkmann: > X11R6 shouldn't exist even on Linux, if you ask me. I am all for it.
Yes, perhaps an even better idea would be to replace /X11R6 with a symlink to ".". I this time, I took the safe route replacing only /X11R6/lib with a symlink to ../lib. Is there a way that I could create a separate (chroot) environment on my hurd box to test these somewhat radical changes without having to boot between them? Like debootstrap in Debian/Linux? > I can send you a dpkg-shlibdeps which will be functional but spit out a lot > of warnings. Thanks, that would be nice. As I understand the current scheme of things, dpkg-shlibdeps is confused when ldd finds stuff in /lib that dpkg says should be in /usr/lib? > If there are no actual file conflicts which introduce bugs, you > shouldn't notice a difference.

Indeed, if any libraries in /lib, /usr/lib, or /usr/X11R6/lib should have the same filename, wouldn't this be bad also if the directories are separate? For some happy news, xterm now works. (and completely unrelated, bug #78372 is closed in shellutils 2.0.11-7). Oystein -- When in doubt: Flaunt.
