[SOLVED] Xorg-x11-7.2 symbolic link issue

I seem to have the issue a lot of other users are having with this modular X 7.2. I try to emerge xorg-x11 and it fails because it tells me that /usr/X11R6 is not a symbolic link to ../usr. I have found a few forums that say the same thing on how to fix it but when i run

ls -l /usr/X11*

it shows a lib directory and thats it. Well when I go to use the command

cd /usr && ln -s ../usr X11R6 (and supposedly this fixes it)

and i do another ls -l /usr/X11*, all it is show is

usr -> ../usr instead of /usr/X11R6 -> ../usr

This is not working for me. Any ideas? Thanks!

Begin to check what packages owns /usr/X11R6:
