    <title>Installation of Xorg Libraries</title>

    <para>A <ulink url='http://wiki.x.org/wiki/SecurityPage'>security
    vulnerability</ulink> has been identified in the libX11 and xtrans
    packages. Before building these packages with the commands shown below,
    be sure to apply the supplied patches. For libX11, this can be
    accomplished with with the following command:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../libX11-1.0.1-setuid-1.patch</userinput></screen>

    <para>For xtrans, the patch can be applied with the following
    command:</para>

<screen><userinput>patch -Np1 -i ../xtrans-1.0.0-setuid-1.patch</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install the libraries by running the following commands for each
    of the chosen packages:</para>

<screen><userinput>./configure $XORG_CONFIG &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>These packages do not provide test suites.</para>

    <title>Configuration of Xorg Libraries</title>

    <para>If you've chosen to install <application>Xorg</application> into
    <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, then no further
    configuration is necessary and you can skip the rest of this section.
    If you've opted for an alternate prefix, you should create two symlinks
    to satisfy the expected environment of several packages.
    Execute the following commands as the root user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>ln -sv $XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11 /usr/lib/X11 &amp;&amp;
ln -sv $XORG_PREFIX/include/X11 /usr/include/X11</userinput></screen>
