I really only have one more question...

What exactly do you mean by "dumb linker"?  You're making a link from the
library in /usr/X11R6/lib to /usr/lib, So does this mean the linker in
DragonFly doesn't check all of the locations that ports installs lib's to
yet?  I've run into a few other ports that can't find libraries.  I
usually just end up installing the package and things work.  I assume the
"dumb linker" is the root of this intermitent problem?

Thanks again,
Eli
