Hi there,
been trying to get XFree86-4.3 to compile from src.rpm for a pretty
clean Mandrake 9.0 install (also tried XFree86-4.2.99.5 - same problem).
I've upgraded the freetype2 packages from src.rpm, as well as autoconf
and autoconf2.5.
The compile goes fine (rpm -ba --target athlon XFree86.spec), but at the
very end I get the following message:
RPM build errors:
File not found: /var/tmp/XFree86-root/usr/X11R6/bin/xftcache
Very annoying because that directory is reinitialised each build, so
manually copying the file (which I have in /usr/X11/bin) is futile. I'd
like to find the true source of this so I can get this done. I
recompiled XFree86 five times yesterday, and even if I use
--short-circuit -bc I'm still going to wait quite a bit before I know if
the bug is fixed.
Thankyou very very much for your time and ... your solution!
Best regards,
Paul Dorman.
PS Just in case you are curious, the reason I am doing this is because I
have applied the patches required for multi-head, multi-xdm,
multi-keyboard, multi-mice XFree86. Info can be found at:

Salut!
