One way to break it and to get the reported error is to move your X11R6 folder to another partition and to have /usr/X11R6 as a symlink pointing to the new location: /usr/X11R6->/Volumes/otherpartition/X11R6_Apple This is something natural to do if, for example, you have several X11 versions installed and not enough space on your main partition. It also works for most of X11's activities, but it breaks some of them, for example xkb. The reason is that /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb is (for Apples' X11) not a symlink to the absolute path /etc/X11/xkb, but to the relative path ../../../../etc/X11/xkb, which is the same thing unless you moved your X11R6 folder..., see above. -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
