This has ceased to exist on OS X as of 10.8. /usr/include/X11 was a convenience symlink and the Xquartz developers decided to get rid of it, apparently. > However, > those include files are actually in /opt/X11/include/X11.

We DON”T mess around in the system area if we can avoid it. If you want to use some other packaging system that is willing to screw you over, that’s your business, but we’re not going to do that. From a Fink standpoint, the best thing to do is to make sure that -I/opt/X11/include shows up on the compiler lines. > Unfortunately, while that problem was resolved, the install failed > again, at a different point.

This is one reason why we ask people to try again with a single build job before submitting their error messages. > > One other thing I noticed: while investigating the problem, I noticed > that the info file for icon specifies a build configuration that forces > a 32-bit build on a 64-bit system: > > make X-Configure name=mac386 > > According to the config notes in the actual source, this is not > recommended unless necessary.
