Many thanks- created this symbolic link. Still getting the same error
though, but good to know about X11R6. Doesn't seem to matter whether I use
cvs or rsync when I selfupdate, problem persists, and I do have the
directory /usr/X11 so that's not the problem at least... it's not an empty
directory either. Now really wonder what could be going on?
