Moreover, it works with option -cpp /lib/cpp, going through the symlink. Additionally, after you have made it work using -cpp /lib/cpp, it continues working correctly without any -cpp options.

About XFree86 3.2 ...
Hello, When you installed XFree 3.2, did you experience any problems with the xrdb utility not working? When I first tried it, xrdb would exit with a "can't run '/usr/lib/cpp -Dblablabla' with a whole bunch of '-D' switches following the 'cpp' part. I checked out my '/usr/lib/cpp', and sure enough it was there (actually a symlink to /usr/bin/cpp). In fact, I was recompiling something at the same time, so I know it's gotta be working right. Specifying a '-nocpp' on the xrdb command line seems to have done the trick. But I hate doing these sort of kludges ... I really like to know why it didn't work without the '-nocpp' switch. (Like, perhaps I forgot to install a package or something like that ... this can only mean trouble later on ...). Do you have any idea? Or should I just be content with that fix? == Arcadio Alivio Sincero, Jr. Undergraduate Computer Science Major/Linux Enthusiast/Competitive Bodybuilder email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW:Not available yet -- still looking for free webspace!
