Hi Branden.
I am attempting to build the xfree package from source. I am building on
an up-to-date debian/stable installation. After finally getting the
right set of packages together, and working out that it is neccessary to
build as root, I have reached an error message that I can't work out
myself. (See below.)
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks.
