Save the time to laugh and better fix the bug, As Steve Kargl also pointed out in his email he had to set XORG_UPGRADE environment variable to make a manual build work. I was short on time, while upgrading my applications. I would have needed to either write down manually or restart this whole process. Both wasn't suitable for me. I didn't complain. I only thought that maybe a pointer to a problem could be perhaps of help for somebody who did the port. Next time I think twice when I see what crappy answers one gets on a mailinglist. > P.S.

Did your vanilla empty system also had vanilla non existing environment variables ? Think a little about it.
