It turns out that this is indeed a problem. I set up a new directory under /usr/src, and set it up all owned by root, etc. and recompiled as root. I did not hit any of the above problems. Please check this out further. If it is a problem, please amend the instructions in INSTALL-X.org. > The "make install" phase includes some compilation, which I thought > a bit odd.

They are now created owned by root, as I expected. The new compile installed sucessfully as well. I notced two glitches: 1) There is a symlink in /etc/X11: [EMAIL PROTECTED] xc]# ll /etc/X11/X lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Nov 30 17:11 /etc/X11/X -> ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_SVGA which is broken. I suspect this is a Red-Hat peculiarity. It did not stop X from running. 2) Some programs cannot find a library which is present: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# xterm: error while loading shared libraries: libexpat.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [EMAIL PROTECTED] xc]# locate libexpat | xargs ls -l lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Dec 3 10:58 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 -> libexpat.so.0.3.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 162799 Aug 19 2002 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0.3.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 2 07:50 /usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Mar 2 07:50 /usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.so.1 -> libexpat.so.1.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 145754 Mar 2 07:50 /usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.so.1.0 [EMAIL PROTECTED] xc]# cat /etc/ld.so.conf /usr/lib /usr/kerberos/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/qt-2.3.0/lib /usr/lib/qt-3.0.5/lib /usr/lib/sane This appears to be a library path issue, which I resolved like so: ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 I'm a bit flummoxed, though. I thought the entry for /usr/X11R6/lib in ld.so.conf would make the copy there visible to xterm. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
