Errors during install of XFree86 from cvs..

[ebrostig]

All,

Just a little reminder if you are planning to install XFree86 from cvs.

The initial make World runs fine without any errors.
However during install with "make install", if barfs on unsatisfied symbols in libpng.so.

If you see this error, here is what to do:
1. cd programs/xcursorgen (That is from the top-level directory of the x source)
2. Edit Makefile and search for png.
3. The line looks like:
LIBPNGLIB= -lpng
change this to
LIBPNGLIB= -lpng -lz -lm
4. Save the file and cd ../..

Now you can run the make install with success and after it's installed, do:
emerge inject x11-base/xfree-4.2.99

That's all
