Hello, I want to install the XFCE desktop and managed to install the first two packages of the list mentioned in
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/xfce/xfce-core.html libxfce4util-4.10.1 Xfconf-4.10.0 For the third one, libxfce4ui-4.10.0 I installed the required 'GTK+-2.24.22', which in turn requires 'gdk-pixbuf-2.30.4'. For the last one, a recommended dependency is the 'Xorg Libraries' and I decided to install them too. I followed the instructions found in http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/x/x7lib.html I added the as_root() function to my non root user .bash_profile and started the installation. It did the make fine for the first library but it asked for the non user password continuously for the 'make install' step. Since I don't want to mess with sudo at this point of my installation, I decided to remove that line from the as_root() function and leave it like this: as_root() { if [ $EUID = 0 ]; then $* # elif [ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]; then? sudo $* else su -c \\"$*\\" fi } export -f as_root Now, it asks me for the root password for the 'make install' and continues to the next library to install. The problem was with the second library, 'libX11-1.6.2', that stops during the 'make' with the following message: ... ... checking for launchd... no checking for getpwuid_r in -lc... yes checking for pthread_self in -lc... yes checking for poll... yes checking keysym definitions... Package xproto was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xproto.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xproto' found configure: error: /X11 doesn't exist or isn't a directory Why is it looking for the /X11 folder? Are there any more dependencies for these libs that are not mentioned in that page or did I something wrong? Any help would be appreciated.
