>Description:
a few linux apps look for certain libraries using a hardcoded path. here's the output of `/usr/local/lib/quake4/quake4.x86` e.g.:

quake4.x86:
        libSDL-1.2.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libSDL-1.2.so.0 (0x284dd000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x28584000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x2859e000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x285a3000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x286a4000)
        libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x286b4000)
        libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x286c9000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x287b9000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x287e2000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x287f0000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x284ba000)
        libxcb-xlib.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 (0x28968000)
        libxcb.so.1 => /usr/local/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0x2896b000)
        libXau.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libXau.so.6 (0x28987000)
        libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x2898a000)

so ports/games/linux-quake4 e.g. looks for them in "/usr/local/lib" others use "/usr/X11R6/lib". these dirs get translated into "/usr/compat/linux/${ACTUAL_DIR}".

but since all libs get installed into "/usr/compat/linux/usr/lib" those apps are unable to find the libs they need and thus fail.

how about changing all the linux_base* ports so they create symlinks to local and X11R6. this is how my /usr/compat/linux/usr dir looks like (`ls -la`):
