When I mentioned that I had been having trouble with various port managing utilities and the git repository, someone suggested that I do make index. This seems to have worked on 6.2-PRE-RELEASE. However, on my CURRENT install, something went wrong. I am not sure when, so I can't consider this a bug report. :) At any rate, suddenly, various and sundry applications are looking for the libraries, which are there in /usr/X11R6/lib in /usr/local/lib. So far, I've just been doing symlinks as the problem arises, trying to remember what I did to make this happen. Has anyone run into this, and do they have any idea how I cleverly managed to break something that was running quite well? This, of course, is the trouble with playing. One doesn't pay close attention to what they're doing. I think the problem actually began when I did the make index--it was looking for a library that was needed. I then played around trying to upgrade various things--brilliantly not bothering to keep track of what I was doing. At any rate, not that my stupidity deserves it, but if someone has any ideas, I'd be grateful. I'd love to know how I did this. I want to make sure that it's clear that after the original upgrade to xorg-7.1 everything was working, there were no missing library errors like this. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 Cordelia: Hi!
