Hello,

I got an error after run “make x11” :

make: *** [x11] Error 2

Is it because x11 libraries location is not found? where can I configure them?

Thanks a lot!

That seems to be a bug in 2.7.7. It has been fixed in what will become 2.7.8. You can get it right away from the Subversion repository trunk.
