$XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xkb does not exist

Hi, I'm having trouble getting Xorg to start. I get the following whenever I try to start it:

Code:

Upon further inspection, the directory /opt/X11/share/X11/xkb/ doesn't exist. My $XORG_PREFIX is /opt/X11. I've installed all of the xorg-apps, and then reinstalled all of the ones with xkb in their names (in the order specified in the wget-list).

Does anybody have any idea?

Hi

Did you happen to miss the XKeyboardConfig out,

Just out of curiosity maybe check /usr/share/X11/xkb see if thats there.

I did not miss Xkeyboardconfig, I made sure that it was compiled and I rebuilt it several times. The directory /usr/share/X11 doesn't exist, and when I run

Code:

find / -type d -name '*xkb*'

I notice that /var/lib/xkb exists, but that's about it. All that's in /var/lib/xkb, btw, is a file named README.compiled.

Hi

You have opt/X11 as prefix why not "opt" as prefix could this of got confused somewhere along the build.

As I see it $XORG_PREFIX/share/X11/xkb comes from XKeyboardconfig

What is the ouput

Code:

echo $XORG_PREFIX

Also did you do the Introduction to Xorg-7.6-2 2nd part

"If you've decided to use the standard /usr prefix, you can omit the remainder of this page. Otherwise, be sure to add $XORG_PREFIX/bin to your PATH environment variable, and $XORG_PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig and $XORG_PREFIX/share/pkgconfig to your PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable. Issue the following commands as the root user: "
