    <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>
