Go to http://debian.org, click on "Debian Packages", scroll down to
"Search the Contents of the Latest Release" (NOT "Search Package
Directories", the 2nd one !!!), type in "lndir", and hit "search".  Why
yes, Debian does rock.  There are 3 packages with that filename:

FILE				PACKAGE
usr/X11R6/bin/lndir		x11/xlib6g-dev
usr/doc/webmagick/lndir		web/webmagick
usr/i486-linuxlibc1/bin/lndir   oldlibs/xlib6-altdev

I'd guess the package you want is xlib6g-dev, since what you want probably
isn't going to be in /usr/doc (webmagic), and you probably don't want
something old (xlib6-altdev).  

Now if you're actually running Debian, type:

apt-get install xlib6g-dev
lndir -silent -ignorelinks ../XFree40

If you're not running Debain, go port apt to whatever it is you're
running, or install Debian, then type the above :)
(I want badly for apt to be ported to redhat)
