Hi Desmond,
When I was faced with this error I did the obvious thing and created a
symlink, then restarted the install. Of course time will probably prove
it to be an utterly boneheaded thing to do, but it seems to work for now.
# mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6-2
# ln -s /usr/X11R6-2 /usr/X11R6
# make install
Regards,
