I just (well, it took nearly 10 hours, so not `just', but recently) compiled the whole 4.2.99.3 release. make World completed successfully, but when I came to make install, I got the following error:

I quickly sorted that out, and finished the install. The query, then: Maybe I'm just used to being spoon-fed by ./configure scripts, but 1) Shouldn't all libraries be checked for fairly early in the build process? 2) Shouldn't this program (and the rest in programs/xdm) be necessary for make World, rather than only being compiled for the `install' target? Glyn -- -Glyn, do you do pills? -No, I hate lager. _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
