I have attempted a manual installation of XFree86 4.1.0 on Debian GNU/Linux using the following;
chmod +x extract mkdir /usr/X11R6 mkdir /etc/X11 ./extract -C /usr/X11R6 X[a-df-uw-z]*.tgz ./extract -C /usr/X11R6 Xvfb.tgz # If you are installing Xvfb ./extract -C /etc/X11 Xetc.tgz ./extract -C /var Xvar.tgz ln -s /etc/X11/app-defaults /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/fs /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/lbxproxy /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/proxymngr /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/rstart /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/twm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/xdm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/xsm /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 ln -s /etc/X11/xserver /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 chmod ug-w /usr/X11R6/lib # Make sure the permissions are OK /sbin/ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib # For Linux /sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/lib # For FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc Everything goes fine until the last command: /usr/X11R6/bin/mkfontdir /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc .. I get the error message 'error inloading shared libraries: libXfont.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file of directory'. Can you please help?
