Before updating from snapshot, thought I'd updated my source code, and rebuild kernel and userland, before trying xenocara one more time....now it builds. Maybe it needed an extra build cycle? Anyhow it works now, so that may be a moot point. I was not trying to be impolite or pester for help in reporting originally, just sending in a report of what seemed to be a problem. Cheers, Brett.
