Hi, I'm rather new to linux, and i was tinkering around in a redhat 9 installation and I wanted to install the new version of xfree86. I downloaded the source and did a make World, then a make install. I restarted and some of the fonts looked different, so I assumed that it had been updated correctly.
I then proceeded to do a "make clean" in that xc directory, which was apparently a silly idea because it ruined everything. Next time I tried to start up X Windows wouldn't start, and I could only get a command line. So I tried to do a make World again....if I remember correctly the first time I tried I ran out of disk space, so I deleted some other things and did it again and it completed, and then i think i did a make install that also completed, but after restarting it still wouldnt work. Then I deleted the xc directory and made a new one and did make World, make install, still without any luck. That's where it stands now, I can get on and get 6 or so different terminals, but no X Windows. I apologize for not having more details, I know that can be frustrating. Any help with my situation would be appreciated, thanks in advance. -Andrew -- ------------------------------------------ [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [email protected] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
