xorg, ttmkfdir and difficulties to get x86_64 up and runnig

[Pau Aliagas]

I've had a hard time updating Xfree86 to xorg, mainly because the mirrors 
are not up to date in x86_64. None of them carries still the xorg for 
x86_64 rpms and I've had to recomplile the src.rpm. I have 12 mirrors in 
my yum.conf to no luck.

I've had to rpm -Uvh manually, but still have a dependency on:
XFree86-font-utils-0-4.3.0-64.x86_64
because when I try to do yum update I still get:

Downloading needed headers
getting /var/cache/yum/development-x86_84/headers/XFree86-font-utils-0-4.3.0-64.x86_64.hdr


At last I've been able to satisfy all the dependencies, but there's still 
something failing: xfs does not start beacuse it segfaults running:
ttmkfdir -d . -o fonts.scale
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF

I've straced it to find that it crasehed when processign these files:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/iso8859-6.8x.enc
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/iso8859-6.16.enc

I've moved them apart and then xfs started without a glitch.
