libxcb-xlib.la problem

[Richard DeLaurell]

I am not sure that this is the right list for this, but I'll give it a go.

I recently did a portupgrade which seems to have installed xcb in such a way
that all (or at least most of) my .la files were "infected' with a reference
to libxcb-xlib.la as a dependency.

Many of my ports--related to X--won't build now because of this reference.

I can get ls to list all of the files endng in ".la" in my /usr/local/lib
directory (and write it out to a .txt file), but I am not facile enough to
know how to have xargs/grep find this "/usr/local/lib/libxcb-xlib.la" and
delete it from all of the files in my list.

If anyone could help I'd appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.
