Blank screen when attempting to load xbmc
#1
I had previously had an SVN from the mid-10000s up and running, but when I updated yesterday, I can no longer seem to get it to run. I've tried a completely fresh XBMC directory, but I still get the same results. Here's my xbmc.log:

It claims it can't find my guisettings.xml file. I've tried copying in a backup from my older version, and even setting permissions to 777 in case it was a weird permissions thing. This seems similar to the issue in this thread:

I tried k-pax's suggestion in that thread, but the DEST switch didn't seem to work for me.

Looks like I fixed my own problem. After poring over the compile log, I realized that I had only installed libxrandr, and not libxrandr-dev. Installing that appears to have fixed my problem.
