We have a simple fix. I've mailed it out to others who had the same problem that mailed me directly. Simply run this before running buildinstall: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH FWIW, upd-instroot automatically adds it if there is a /usr/bin/runroot, but if there isn't it doesn't. Here's the snippet from upd-instroot: if [ -x /usr/bin/runroot -a -n "$COMPONENT" ]; then REALPATH=`(cd $DESTGR; /bin/pwd | sed 's,/md1/,/,g')` runroot $COMPONENT --onlyone --arch $ARCH "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/sbin/chroot $REALPATH /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 2> $REALPATH/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules" else /usr/sbin/chroot $DESTGR /usr/bin/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 > $DESTGR/etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules fi -Jeff
