libxcb-xlib.la problem

[Richard DeLaurell]

Well, your xargs/sed script works very well; thanks very much for that.

The diff script throws this error however:

diff: extra operand '<name of first .bak file in the directory>'

It is not such a critical thing though; I checked "by hand" on a small group
of 10 files or so first to make certain that all was well.

Thanks for the help in any event--

Richard
