The message says, that libxcb-render misses a link already, right? So it's not the problem in the i3-compile step, if I understand that correctly.
Did you check the following? $ ldd /usr/lib64/libxcb-render.so linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007ffff61ff000) libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib64/libxcb.so.1 (0x00007fa7c9398000) libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libXau.so.6 (0x00007fa7c9194000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fa7c8e00000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa7c97d2000) On 28/10/14 15:07, Sargrad, Dave wrote: > Johannes, > > Thanks again for helping me past that compile issue. > > > > I am now attempting to link.
