I had troubles with this just a couple of weeks ago - I ran portupgrade for XFree86 and it failed. Basically the meta-port ports/x11/XFree86-4 won't build properly because its dependencies are misordered. You can try the portupgrade, and if it fails go to ports/x11/XFree86-4-libraries and "make install". Then try portupgrade again and it will proceed fine. good luck -- Steve Tremblett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
