Do you see the following line during configure? checking for X.Org SGML entities >= 1.7... /usr/share/sgml The fix is either to install a new copy of xorg-sgml-doctools for your prefix before libX11/libXext, or just disable the build of the spec docs with --disable-specs. If you're just installing X as a dependency, you may not care about the spec docs (they take a long time to build, too). I think the next release of these modules will have that fixed so the files follow --prefix, but I don't know when that will be. </PRE> </BLOCKQUOTE> This was fixed 10 days ago in git master: <A HREF="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/commit/?id=b370eeb0191b0e2a8bde2f03a442a8ca62e35d58">http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/commit/?id=b370eeb0191b0e2a8bde2f03a442a8ca62e35d58</A> and in all other modules with docs. Version 1.8 of xorg-sgml-doctools is required. Configuring with --disable-docs and --disable=specs will skip building the documentation which is a sizable piece of work in libX11. <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> <PRE> -- Dan _______________________________________________ <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>
