The fact is that the build as documented - doesn't. This is not because
Firefox doesn't use it, but because the librsvg package build is now
broken in the BLFS book. The editors should know, and it should be
recorded. Fixing it is up to you.

/usr/X11 as the default with /usr as the option,
similar to the way it is now. :-/ I prefer the /usr method as default
now for the book as that is what the distros seem to be doing...less
chance for breakage that way later on down the road
+1 for /usr please

We agree on this point. I believe DJ offered an opinion on this
as well that dvd+_rw-tools should be in the book.
Sorry I didn't offer an opinion. Thanks for adding it to the book.

Works for me. The same part of my compile log looks like this

If you're following the instructions in BLFS, why does it list DDATA_DIR
as /usr/local/share/libxklavier? Why is libxml2 in /usr/local? How else
have you deviated from BLFS?

According to what I read, most FF binaries come with svg built in. I
now think that it would be expected by most users and should be the default.

I disagree. My buildlog shows several files and folders being installed
into /var/lib
Same here. But the scrollkeeper directory is detected by using
'scrollkeeper-config --pkglocalstatedir'. That should output
'/var/lib/scrollkeeper'.
I see, yes, it detects the location of the

IMO, we should remove the patch from the book and just make it a CMMI

Oh as far as ed as a required dependency, grep through your configure
logs if you keep them separate.
Unfortunately I'm not that sophisticated. I keep the logs from each
application separate, but I log CMMI all in one file. Consequently
grepping for `ed' gets me lots of hits

I agree with everything Andy says, except installing into /usr. The
default should be the expected method and location. Installing into
/usr should be the reader's option to change from the default. If he

Hello world,
What's to be done with Sawfish? Does anyone use it? It doesn't compile
with gtk-4. The fix is a simple sed
sed -i 's,static ch,extern ch,g' src/main.c
But rather than fix it, wouldn't it be better to remove Sawfish from the
book?
Thoughts anyone?

Do you mean 5.92 ? LFS-svn has been on 5.93 for a few weeks, and some
of the behaviour is definitely different between the two versions.
Yes, I'm a bit behind, I've been busy. 5.93 is fixed, the problem is
just with 5.92. It's been bugging me for weeks.

1) Change the installation prefix of GNOME Doc Utils to /usr. This
is probably the preferred (and easiest) solution to implement. There
is precedent of installing some GNOME packages in /usr. See the

Additionally, because GNOME Doc Utils files are

A possible third option
might be this ugly sed
sed -i 's,$(datadir)/x,`pkg-config --variable=prefix ORBit-2.0`/share/x,' \

If that is run just before make -C doc html then it should all `just work'.
Another option is to run configure again like so

Is BLFS going to adopt /usr/X11R7? If not, then it will obviously break
your build method. And since /usr/X11R7 will suffer the same problems as
/usr WRT to assumptions made by other packages, would now be the time to
default to /usr?
I like /usr. It works for me with
