I can't reproduce this w/ xorg-x11-6.8.1.902, fwiw.

Fails here too.

Easy fix:

ln -s /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb

[Comment 4 Cybercide 2005-02-08 15:18:15 UTC]

Also related to this is Error activating XKB configuration popup message after emerge xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4, trief to emerge libxklavier to fix and got same error making symbolic link as above fixes both:
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -s ../../../../usr/lib/X11 X11

Looks like a possible fault with xorg-x11-6.8.0-r4 directory reorganisation?

[Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-02-08 20:01:22 UTC]

That symlink doesn't make any sense --- what happens if you try 6.8.1.904?

[Comment 6 Raffi Chaglassian 2005-02-19 18:45:10 UTC]

This is the correct symlink for xorg's directory reorganisation BUG:

cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib64/X11

cheers

[Comment 7 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-02-19 19:02:37 UTC]

ls -ld /usr/lib* /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6/*

[Comment 8 foser (RETIRED) 2005-03-02 14:56:15 UTC]

reassigning .. to close ?

[Comment 9 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2005-05-24 01:04:10 UTC]

Can't reproduce.
