Purely empirically, when I updated from 10.10 to 10.11 that blew away /usr/X11R6 completely and converted /usr/X11 into what appeared to be a real directory with identical contents to /opt/X11 (maybe a hard link). When I ran the Xquartz installer (as is considered best practice after an OS update), that set up a /usr/X11 -> /opt/X11 symlink but did not set up a corresponding /usr/X11R6 -> /opt/X11 symlink. -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list Fink-users@lists.sourceforge.net List archive: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.user Subscription management: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
