Hi all, I have read some mails about this X issue... and wondered if it would be difficult to compile the /usr/X11R6/lib in ld.so? Someone argued that /etc/ldso.conf is a linux thing, but would it be that hard to modify the ld.so to try both /lib and /usr/X11R6/lib? Or make it read a similar file? This would allow HURD users to run X11 without much hastles, at least until the fundamental problem is solved. just my 2 EURO-cents -- lode
There is a pending wishlist item for xfree86-commonhttp://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=114625 reported Oct 6 2001. But the reporter argues for /usr/X11R6 to become a symlink to /usr on *all* platforms. Not surprisingly, Branden responded that this was such a major change, that he cannot decide upon unilaterally. Anyhow, I guess this is not what we need. We only need installation to work *too*, if /X11R6 is a Symlink. So maybe I'll file a new bug report. Regards, Johannes
