x11 broke with FreeBSD 9.0 Release

K

kb6rxe

I installed FreeBSD 9.0 Release yesterday and had trouble getting all the modules that make up X11 to compile. I had to use some packages instead. I finally got X11 installed and tried to start and got message from libXcursor referring to a undefined symbol XRenderQueryExtension. I have attached log file with the errors.

Previously I had installed all the Betas and Release Candidates for 9.0 successfully with little trouble. I was hoping the 9.0 Release would be as easy.

How can I fix this X11 problem?

Thanks

It's probably because of inappreciate messing packages with ports, pkg_delete -a then pkg_add -r xorg and try again.
 
Undefined symbol = missing shared lib

Did you try ldd?


[cmd=]root@bt:/home/diego# dpkg -L libxcursor1[/cmd]
Code: 
 ...
/usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1

root@bt:/home/diego# ldd /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff1befc000)
	libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x00007f7ab87ec000)

If you don't have libXrender, install with:

[cmd=]#cd /usr/ports/x11/libXrender[/cmd]


good luck!
 
You shouldn't really mix ports with packages. That tends to break things in the way. If you want to install X from ports then you are better off using a metaport located in:

/usr/ports/x11/xorg-minimal/
/usr/ports/x11/xorg
 
fixed

Thanks for the suggestion on pkg_add -r xorg. It worked like a charm. I'm installing all my packages that way instead of spending hours compiling them.

Thanks again.
