That was an ABI change in libxcb. I take it you upgraded in place from 1.3? Unfortunately, the solution was to remove a good portion of xorg and related libs and then reinstall (basically anything that links to libxcb-xlib.so). I had a thread on it in BLFS-Dev a few years back, but am unable to find it. The newer libxcb does not create libxcb-xlib (but old is left in place and is scattered about through a bunch of libtool archives. Removing it does no good as you'll simply break xorg completely. I realize it isn't much help, but that is what needs to happen. Backup first so you can quickly return from where you started if something goes terribly awry. Here is a gentoo guide to assist, but I'm not sure how relevant it is now days...it's been a long time since I've had to deal with it (I'm thinking late 2007 or early 2008). http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/x/x11/libxcb-1.4-upgrade-guide.xml In fact..it looks a little specific to gentoo. They had libxcb-xlib emulation patches for a while. Basically it amounts to removing libxcb-xlib (all archives, pc file, etc) and everything linked to it and re-install). -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
