[SOLVED] Error and failed if I want to install xcurser-themes.

hi,
I am now working on X, now I want to configure xcurser-themes and install but I get this error message when configuring it, but I have to finish it first before I can continue.

Code:

checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating handhelds/Makefile
config.status: creating redglass/Makefile
config.status: creating whiteglass/Makefile
config.status: executing depfiles commands

Making all in handhelds
make[1]: Entering directory '/sources/xc/xcursor-themes-1.0.4/handhelds'
/etc/X11/bin/xcursorgen -p ../redglass ./X_cursor.cfg X_cursor
/etc/X11/bin/xcursorgen: error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/xc/xcursor-themes-1.0.4/handhelds'
Makefile:363: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

The file "libX11.so.6" I see it in "/etc/X11/lib/", so I do not know what actually is the problem and how further.
I have X also not in the standard /usr but installed in /etc/X11 directory.
As I said before, no problems yet, how can I fix this?

I also googled the problem without success.

Best regards,

Why on earth are you installing libs in /etc ?, this is going to cause you so many problems, as you have already staret to find out, unless you have a REALLY good reason and know what you are doing install libs onto standard folders ie; /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/local/lib, and the 64 bit equivelents ( /lib64 etc ).

If you have installed into non standard folderz you will at least have to set up ldconfig, /etc/ld.so.conf to point to your non standard install folders, you may also have to set the include paths via CPPFLAGS/CFLAGS/LIBS etc to the configure script.

I understand the problem, but because the book indicated that you could choose a nonstandard instalation.
Because for me the first time I just need to keep the standard principles until I know more about it, that's clear.

How can I uninstalled everything and then start again with X?

Another thing, how should actually pefix, export XORG_PREFIX = "/usr" or export XORG_PREFIX = "/usr/X11"

Best regards,

In the source code folder for a particular app/lib just run

Code:

sudo make uninstall

which is the opposite of

Code:

sudo make install

This asumes that the configure is still valid.

Use

Code:

export XORG_PREFIX=/usr

hi,
Ok, I uninstalled everything and X installed as standard in 'XORG_PREFIX=/usr'.

Now I have another problem after I installed X and drivers, at startup I have problems with my monitor.
At least for about 5 seconds and indicates: no signal. I work remotely on another machine using ssh, but look how it progresses on the monitor that is connected; otherwise I would not even have noticed.

What can I do, any idea?
Do not know if it's good, but I wanted to recompile the kernel but do not know when or needed.

Should I open another thread or is it good here?

Meanwhile see how I can configure X here on the forum.

Best regards,

Hi you can recompile the kernel when ever you want,

Johnrg · 12-02-2014, 12:37 PM

Okay, I will. Hopefully the problem with screen than fixed!

Thanks,

Hi, I re-compile the kernel and still have problems with the display.
What could be the cause of the problem, how can I fix this?
Should I compile without instrucries or is there another possibility to solve it?

Thanks

I presume you have tried operating the pc direct not via ssh, as there might be a delay via ssh.

Johnrg · 12-02-2014, 03:31 PM

That is the problem, monitor does not work after the re-compile after installing the drivers for Xorg Chapter 24 Xorg drivers.
Everything just worked up to that time, display falls just after startup.

So I can not work directly with that machine, now I can work remotely only because otherwise I can not do anything.

Thanks,

Hi, everything works properly and no more problems.
I tested also X server and works fine without any problems.

I ask for help when necessary, for other significant problems.

Thanks
