One of the point I have to emphasize is: if you dislike the efforts to recover a Linux system which is confused by overwriting installation of unmanaged software package (I know some people could enjoy it), do not set the prefix as "--prefix=/usr". It will overwrite existing software (managed/configured by the system installer and package manager), and the system would be something like a minefield which you cannot be sure all mines are swept. In summary, I recommend you to reinstall the system and set the prefix to the directory that the system software won't look, like, /home/zhang/fontconfig-2.3.2/ etc. Regards, mpsuzuki zhang.heng16@xxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Hi, > > this mail is from Jeff .I need your professional help.
