Thanks for the debugging help. I noticed how Sergei has libraries in other places besides /usr/local. I am not familiar -rpath you mentioned earlier. Where can I find information about that? I am going to try to recompile the dependencies a little more methodically. I'll include a build of libxml2. When I install either dbus or readline I find gdm breaks. I'll keep an eye out for locating libraries in other places and see how I can use that. Thanks, Chris On 'rpath' - you need to carefully read 'man ld', possibly online: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/ld.so.8.html . I do not use 'rpath' explicitly, i.e. I leave it to 'configure' to decide. Do not install anything into system locations. I am building a lot of stuff as non-root user using my own AppsFromScratch. FWIW, see attached autogenerated by AppsFromScratch 'config_wrapper.sh' used by my tool to run 'configure' of libxml2-2.9.0. You can figure out dependencies and other stuff (e.g. PKG_CONFIG_PATH settings) needed to build libxml2-2.9.0. ... Also attached 'config_wrapper.sh' for glib-2.34.3 - it's trivial to understand which file is related to which library from the contents. Regards, Sergei.
