Why is it happening? </BLOCKQUOTE> util-macros is installed in /usr/share as it is architecture independent. For my part. I set: <BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> PKG_CONFIG_PATH= /home/nadon/xorg/src/lib/pkgconfig:/home/nadon/xorg/src/share/pkgconfig </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> This path is searched before the "default search path". See man pkg-config. Once you have sorted it out, remove excess files copied and install util-macros using make install. Also check if PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR is set which changes the default search path. That makes several places were an older copy can hide. This should tell you where it is, based on env vars: <BLOCKQUOTE> <PRE> pkg-config --variable pkgdatadir xorg-macros </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> Thanks in advance, Ivan <PRE> _______________________________________________ <A HREF="mailto:xorg@lists.freedesktop.org">xorg@lists.freedesktop.org</A>: X.Org support Archives: <A HREF="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg">http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg</A> Info: <A HREF="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg</A> Your subscription address: <A HREF="mailto:memsize@videotron.ca">memsize@videotron.ca</A> </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
