Dear LFS users,
while installing Xrandr package i got the following error. I hope any one send solution for the following error.

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XRANDR_CFLAGS
and XRANDR_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Hi,

xrandr is installed when doing the Xorg Applications chapter, is that what you are doing? If so: Did the installation of the Xorg Libraries go as expected (it contains libXrandr.{so,a}, libXrender.{so,a} and libX11.{so,a}).

Hope this helps.

BTW: Are you still using the chrooted method?

Dear druuna,
Yes we are still using chroot environment to install graphical packages is that anything wroung.

Hi,
Mentioned that in your other post: Solution for Mesa installation error

Things might work now, but probably won't once you start using your newly build LFS/BLFS system (different kernel, and possibly /dev/ entries).

Besides that, what's the point of having a lean and mean LFS installed and not letting it do all the work....

Hello everybody,

druuna's advice about not building the BLFS system in chroot is universally considered good advice. But that may not be involved in your current issue.

IMO, when the error says something is missing, it's a good indication that something was skipped. Anyway, it happens all the time.

Next, why not script the commands for those Xorg groups like the book suggests? The example shown for the proto group in the Xorg introduction can be modified easily for the other groups. I've never had those scripts error out, and I think I would go barking mad doing all that mindlessly repetitive Xorg stuff manually.

Next, are you sure you are properly chroot-ed and not working at the host system's command prompt?

Anyway, to me the worst thing about building BLFS while chroot-ed is not that it won't work. It does. Or, at least it can. I've done it several times up through X and then finished building in the native system. Those systems worked perfectly. My greatest concern building that way has been that I might get careless, screw up, and install stuff in the host system.

Dear LFS users,
Solutions for Xrandr configuration is, to install the libX11, libXrender, libXrandr packages correctly, during libXrandr package installation the libraries files are not installed correctly, so we copied the library files from source directory to /usr/X11/lib now every thing is ok and Xrandr package was installed properly.Problem solved thanks to Druuna, stoat for immediate support. We hope,your support will continue in future.

Thanks & Regards,
