Hi Oh silly me! I didn't see the part of the error that suggests that it is wingeing about a version of a previously installed package.
I got there in the end, now let's see if I can fix it! I wrote: In working through 28 June 2007 blfs, I'm attempting to build the Xorg libraries. However, I'm getting the error below: I observed the PKG_CONFIG_PATH and set that to /usr/lib/pkgconfig as that appeared to be the correct path but it hasn't changed the error, which suggests that it is not a path error but I guess it is a path error. What values should I export to cflags and libs? checking if /usr/bin/cpp requires -undef... yes checking if /usr/bin/cpp requires -traditional... yes checking whether to use XCB... (cached) yes checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes checking for XPROTO... yes checking for X11... configure: error: Package requirements (xextproto xtrans xcb-xlib >= 0.9.92) were not met: No package 'xcb-xlib' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables X11_CFLAGS and X11_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.
