man ln says

ln [-Ffhinsv] source_file [target_file]

but if I run ``sudo ln -s libXrandr.2.dylib /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib'' from my home there exists no ``libXrandr.2.dylib''

Anyway, I will delete the first of the following two links, but leave the second one.

/usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.0.0.dylib -> /usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.dylib
/usr/X11/lib/libXrandr.2.1.0.dylib -> libXrandr.2.dylib

Eventually, that means we have to wait for bug fix, right?
