I looked at several previous versions, and didn't see anything. Perhaps
you were thinking about the DVD symlink stuff (that I did remove)?
So, I went and looked at the configure log and see this:
============ Checking for X11 ============
#include <X11/Xlib.h>

Result is: yes
============================================================================
So it looks as though a non-standard installation could break. I have the
X11R6 symlink, so of course it worked.
Anyone with a suggestion for the book would be great.
