I had the same problem. If you change the file names from lower case x files to upper case X files it should install as they indicate. Give it a try hope it helps.
Xbin.tgz Xlib.tgz Xman.tgz Xdoc.tgz Xfnts.tgz Xfenc.tgz Xetc.tgz Xxserv.tgz notice these are ALL upper case X files but in your download they are lower case xman.. xdoc and need to be changed to Xman... etc. Vaughn >From: "Yu-Fong Cho" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "XFree86 Newbie Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: [Newbie]XFree86 and Solaris 8... >Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 20:15:36 -0500 > >Hi, > >I am trying to install XFree86 in Solaris 8 X86, but I have two questions I >never had while using XFree86 on FreeBSD... :-( > >First, I tried to install XFree86 4.2.0 binary, but there is not provided >default.
