I think this must be picking up your host's pkg-config file for xorg-sgml-doctools that determine where to install the cross reference databases for the documents. Do you see the following line during configure? checking for X.Org SGML entities >= 1.7... /usr/share/sgml The fix is either to install a new copy of xorg-sgml-doctools for your prefix before libX11/libXext, or just disable the build of the spec docs with --disable-specs. If you're just installing X as a dependency, you may not care about the spec docs (they take a long time to build, too). I think the next release of these modules will have that fixed so the files follow --prefix, but I don't know when that will be. -- Dan _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: [email protected]
