Hi, the package that creates x11-links on SPARC Solaris does not include 
all the necessary links. I was compiling x11/kdebase3 and it failed with 
the following error:

ld: fatal: library -lXau: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to 
.libs/libkdeinit_ksmserver.so
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[3]: *** [libkdeinit_ksmserver.la] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory 
`/opt/pkg.obj/x11/kdebase3/work.ultra10/kdebase-3.5.7/ksmserver'

I looked under /opt/pkg/share/x11-links/lib and there were no symbolic 
links to /usr/openwin/lib/libXau.so files.

So creating symbolic links by hand to /usr/openwin/lib/{libXau.so, 
libXau.so.6} under

/opt/pkg/share/x11-links/lib
/opt/pkg.obj/x11/kdebase3/work.ultra10/.buildlink/lib

fixed the compilation problem.

My question is: do I need to submit a PR or will the mainainer of 
x11-links package fix the issue after reading this email?
