(Probabably mainly an XFree86 problem, I presume.) Apparently, the XFree86 build process isn't perfect either, since certain options in xc/config/cf/host.def can cause the "make install" to fail. One set of options I had in host.def caused the make World to finish successfully. But when I did the ensuing "make install", it began compiling the aout shared libs, which it didn't do during the make World. (What the hell?) So, it appears that this snapshot can be very "touchy" depending on what you put in host.def. Changing one minor thing can throw the whole XFree86 distribution out of whack. I finally got it right, though, and I'm getting the errors you describe. - Donn To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
