From memory, QT (and therefore kde, I suppose) assumes xorg is in /usr/X11R6. Horribly anachronistic, but not a problem for those of us who build X in /usr. If you have built some, or all, of xorg in a different prefix, you may need to tell the build process. With traditional 'configure' that's just a matter of looking at the script and working out how to force it (e.g. LDFLAGS=-L/path/to/lib) when there is not an easier way to override it. With cmake, I have no idea. Presumably, it doesn't actually test for libSM in any of the cmake files (both those already installed in /usr/share, and those in the workspace tarball), otherwise it should have already fixed this. Actually, I'm on the box with a fullish 4.2.0 installed. Nothing useful in the cmake files that I can see. Grepping in the kdebase-workspace code, I guess the problem is in ksmserver but I can't see any ways to add options there. Perhaps you can provide a symlink for libSM.so from wherever the build process is looking (I guess /usr/lib is probably easiest). I'm sorry, I find cmake to be an abomination and more or less impossible to debug. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
