Xkeyboard Compiler (xkbcomp) announces an error

Symptom:

After having installed a new X server (e.g. xsvga.rpm von ftp://ftp.suse.com) you have configured your keyboard. Then you start X and get an error message like: 
Error: Cannot open "/var/X11R6/xkb/compiled/server-0.xkm"

Cause:

The directory /var/X11R6/xkb/compiled is packed in xf86.rpm which you haven't updated. The X keyboard compiler resists that this directory exists even if it's empty. That's why you get this error message.

Solution:

If this directory doesn't exist you need to create it. This has to be done as user root: 
  
mkdir -p /var/X11R6/xkb/compiled
