I was attempting to install a newer version of X.org suite (read: a much more up-to-date version from git trees) on the side of the old one into /usr/local. While installing libXv, I ran into linker errors when trying to link against libXdcmp and it complained about the lack of libXdcmp.la. I suspect you could work around the problem by telling it not to use libtool and tell it the library paths directly but the default behaviour for libXv compiling seemed to require the existence of the file. If the build log is relevant, I can attempt to re-obtain it. -- Seppo Yli-Olli <seppo.yli-o...@iki.fi> 040-5180540 "Understanding is a three-edged sword" - Kosh, Babylon 5 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
