Hi all,
I have read some mails about this X issue... and wondered
if it would be difficult to compile the /usr/X11R6/lib in ld.so?
Someone argued that /etc/ldso.conf is a linux thing, but
would it be that hard to modify the ld.so to try both
/lib and /usr/X11R6/lib? Or make it read a similar file?
This would allow HURD users to run X11 without much hastles,
at least until the fundamental problem is solved.
just my 2 EURO-cents

There is a pending wishlist item for xfree86-common
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=114625
reported Oct 6 2001. But the reporter argues for /usr/X11R6 to become a
symlink to /usr on *all* platforms. Not surprisingly, Branden responded
that this was such a major change, that he cannot decide upon
unilaterally. Anyhow, I guess this is not what we need. We
only need installation to work *too*, if /X11R6 is a Symlink.
So maybe I'll file a new bug report.
Regards,
Johannes
