Hello Lewis. I'm on Slackware 14.0 (32-bit).

I get this:

----------------------------------------
x11/motif# ll /usr/pkgsrc/x11/motif/work/.buildlink/lib/libXt.la  
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/motif/work/.buildlink/lib/libSM.la  
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/motif/work/.buildlink/lib/libuuid.la
/bin/ls: cannot access /usr/pkgsrc/x11/motif/work/.buildlink/lib/libuuid.la: No 
such file or directory
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  992 Jun 23 18:10 
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/motif/work/.buildlink/lib/libSM.la
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1258 Jun 23 18:10 
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/motif/work/.buildlink/lib/libXt.la
Exit 2
x11/motif#
----------------------------------------

Basically 'libuuid.la' does not exist in that path, the other 2 are
present, but they aren't symlinks.

Here goes:

----------------------------------------
x11/motif# ll `locate libXt.la` `locate libSM.la` `locate libuuid.la`
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  927 May  4  2012 /usr/lib/libSM.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1028 May  4  2012 /usr/lib/libXt.la
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  900 Aug 15  2012 /usr/lib/libuuid.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   17 Jun 21 08:39 /usr/pkg/share/x11-links/lib/libSM.la 
-> /usr/lib/libSM.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   17 Jun 21 08:39 /usr/pkg/share/x11-links/lib/libXt.la 
-> /usr/lib/libXt.la
x11/motif#
----------------------------------------

A symlink to '/usr/lib/libuuid.la' is missing from 'x11-links/lib/'.

I bet that's at least part of what is causing the problem.

Thank you,
