GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 131149
libxklavier: XKB configuration
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
GARNOME 0.29.1 builds libxklavier with --with-xkb-base=$(libdir)/X11/xkb, on my system (FC1) this leads to problem (see bug #131083). XKB is normally located in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb, so --with-xkb-base=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb would be better for most people i think...
For most people, this should have been fixed in GARNOME 2.6.2.1 or later. For Slackware users, there's a note in the FAQ pages and the supplied documentation detailing what they have to do to fix this on the fly.
