xcursor-themes-1.0.1 won't compile. Missing xcursorgen

Blender3D · 06-17-2010, 12:03 AM

I've been trying to compile X11 for about a day, and I can't seem to install xcursor-themes. I've noticed that it nags me about xcursorgen not being present, so I manually download it and recompile it with the default options for BLFS.

It compiles with no errors (there are only 2 files, and none of them produce any output other than gcc ...), but is still not detected by xcursor-themes. I have found the xcursorgen executable in /usr/X11/bin/, but I can't figure out how to make xcursor-themes see it. Can anybody point me somewhere?

Thanks!

Hmm, a lot of other things won't install either, even though I find the required binaries in the /usr/X11/bin folder. Is there an environment variable that should be set?

Here is the output of "env", if that could help in any way:

Code:

If you're installing executable files into /usr/X11/bin, wouldn't it make sense to add that to your $PATH? How else are they going to get found?

PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin

Thanks Andrew (here's Thank #6),

It got it one step further: it recognized xcursorgen, but xcursorgen (and basically every other binary in /usr/x11/bin) doesn't find some critical library header... Could it be mis-linked libraries? I am going to re-install X into the standard directories if this does not work...

Blender3D · 06-17-2010, 10:13 PM

So, I moved one of the libraries from /usr/X11/lib to /usr/lib and now it gives me a different error. I am going to (carefully) reinstall the binaries and libraries again, since the binaries have misconfigured paths...
