Hi math,

This looks like a question better served by the Ubuntu group, so I've moved the question there. However, it may be better to ask in #scratchbox on irc.freenode.net, or check the Scratchbox mailing lists:

Hope this helps,

Mars

Hey math,

First, to compile xserver, you need to compile xorg-lib first. xserver depends on those *.so files generated when you compile xorg-lib. Thus, maybe you need to compile or recompile xorg-lib before you can go further.
After you have the xorg-lib compiled, login the scratchbox, check out if your have those *.so files under the directory /usr/lib. If not, they should be in /[your_prefix]/lib where "your_prefix" is the value of the parameter named "--prefix" you specified when you compile xorg-lib. You should find those *.so files there. In this case, make soft links from /usr/lib/*.so to /[your_prefix]/lib/*.so; this will make the compiler of your scratchbox found those *.so files. You need a script to do this efficiently.
