Compiled v4.2 of X today. 2 problems both solved: (1) Some source files include <sys/socket.h> but then find themselves short of certain definitions (SOL_SOCKET for one). Fix: edit source to include <asm/socket.h> as well. This worked, but why was it necessary? (2) It assumes that a Debian system has Pam (whoever she is). Mine doesn't, never has had. Fix: edit config/cf/linux.cf and change #define HasPam YES to NO.
That's OK. What's not OK is problem still problematical: When I startx, I get: xinit: error in loading shared libraries libXmuu.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xauth: error in loading shared libraries libXmuu.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (with 4 more identical errors from xauth). BUT in /usr/X11R6/lib we have: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Nov 7 00:46 libXmuu.so -> libXmuu.so.1.0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 14 Nov 7 00:46 libXmuu.so.1 -> libXmuu.so.1.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12789 Nov 7 00:46 libXmuu.so.1.0 And in INSTALL-X.org I find: On some distributions of Linux the run-time loader is broken -- requiring that the library's internal SONAME match the filename -- and the symlink solution won't work. We recommend that you get a new run-time loader which is not broken or recompile your run-time loader to not require that the SONAME match. This is talking about something else, and I don't actually think it's the problem, but it's the only clue I have. Can anyone point me to a working run-time loader (if I need one) or tell me how they solved this, if it happened to them?
