Why does LFS stay so far ahead of BLFS? What is the point of building the newest LFS if the BLFS files are older and probably won't work or would be replacing newer versions of apps with older versions? There is a note on the BLFS that says in one or two months a new BLFS will be released. There

There is a note on the BLFS that says in one or two months a new BLFS will be released. There is no date as to when that was put there or a target date for release. What is the target date for that one or two months? I understand why the version BLFS is often behind LFS. However, I do

Alonso --  I think you'll find the warning in the gnome log is normal, and very unlikely to be related to this.  I no longer build kde, but I can offer you a couple of suggestions: (i.) if you built xorg in anywhere other than /usr, try symlinking from /usr so that the headers can be
