Sam, That's because I screwed up when I modified Ian's build.sh script. I forgot to make the symbolic links part of the Xlib package... and I think I accidentally made the Xetc package contain invalid links. Oh well. I fixed it now, I think.
I put a new setup.ini and XFree86-lib-4.2.0-2.tar.bz2 at ftp://huntharo-4.user.msu.edu/pub/cygwin/ Chris: What do I do to get the new XFree86-lib file onto the mirrors? Do you want to take care of that (in general), or should I be updating my packages via ssh? Would I have the necessary premissions for that?
