I think we don't have much of a choice, unless we want to go back to the hellish old days when we had X11 packages in Fink. The packages you mention are probably (I checked only t1lib5-x11, where this is the case) victims of autotools bugs in the psrt of the configure code that is supposed to provide fallback mechanisms for finding X11 headers and libs when xmkmf is absent. This code has never been tested before, because mkmf was always present until now. One manifestation of the bug is in lines like for ac_extension in a so sl; do which can be patched by adding dylib to the list. Another one, which I have seen in several gnome configure scripts (for example libwnck1, startup-notification, gnome-panel), is a line case x_libs in which is a simple syntax error; it should be $x_libs. All of these bugs can be worked around simply by supplying configure with the flags --x-includes=/usr/X11R6/include --x-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib In the case of imagemagick, there seems to be a logical error in configure: It assumes that if it finds rsvg and cairo, then there must also be rsvg-cairo somewhere. This is visibly not true for the version of rsvg which it accepts (>=2.9.0). -- Martin ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
