Re: xfree won't compile

[James Frazer <jfrazer@xxxxxxxx>]

Oh man,

I was tricked by that darn xfree86-4 infinite make loop for quite some 
time -- until it dawned on me that my xfree86-4 compile was _still_ 
compiling.

Even worse, installing from the binaries just gives me a broken 
xfree86-4.  Does anyone know why this is?

I thought it was my fault so I reinstalled everything, but needless to 
say it still didn't work.
