I am trying to upgrade from X11R6 to X11R6.4. My ReHat version is 4.2,
on an intel (i386) machine, Linux kernel 2.0.30.

Downloaded all four tar files and the three patches from ftp.X.org;
Unzipped tar files and applied the patches;
Now all X11R6.4 files are in the /home/pmanyem/xc directory;
The ProjectRoot option in xc/config/cf/site.def is set to /usr/X11R6.4;
The Linux distribution option is set to RedHat in site.def;

Now, when I do a "make World >& world.log" from the /home/pmanyem/xc
directory, I get lots of errors in the "world.log" file. All errors
are repetitions of the following two errors:

/bin/sh: ../../config/makedepend/makedepend: No such file or directory
/bin/sh: ../../../exports/bin/bdftopcf: No such file or directory

Does anyone have experience with this ? Thanks.

Yes, a wee bit ;-) You're going to have problems building raw
X11R6.4 on linux if you obtained it from X.org - as Linux isn't a ref
platform and as such doesn't get tested as well as the ref platforms. My
suggestion (at this time) would be to see if XF86 has a src tree for
X11R6.4/linux and go from there... Otherwise you're in for a porting
effort (primarily the build environment, but some other items as well).
