I had this problem around 23rd of march on my laptop running 6-STABLE at the time. I am not sure if this is the *same* issue, BUT I think it went like this... xproto's makefile says it conflicts with xorg-libraries-* CONFLICTS= XFree86-libraries-* xorg-libraries-* i think that I had installed by hand one of the X lib-packages and that had made the whole problem. conflicting libraries and include files. I removed all the extra Xfree86 libs and Xorg, reinstalled Xorg and that was it. I am not saying this is your problem... but it may be worth a try. Xfree86 lib-packages that were installed in my system at the time: libX11 libXau libXcursor libXdmcp libXfixes libXrender xextensions xproto They definitely install files (under include and lib/ ) that xorg provides.
