Re: upgrading pkgsrc on current problems with xextproto

[Riccardo Mottola <riccardo.mottola%libero.it@localhost>]

Hi,

anybody has a tip on that? I updated pkgsrc today, still the same trouble

Emacs wants gtk3. Gtk dails to llink without libXi, libXi fails with:

checking for XEXT... configure: error: Package requirements (xproto >= 
7.0.13 x11 >= 1.1.99.1 xextproto >= 7.1.99) were not met:

Requested 'xextproto >= 7.1.99' but version of XExtProto is 7.1.2

but the newest xextproto is 7.2.1 .

What am I missing?
