I am having problems building firefox from ports. I have been following this guide:=20 http://www.engr.colostate.edu/~reinholz/freebsd/freebsd.html#apps to the letter and started to build firefox, I was in the fluxbox gui at the time and building via xterm. At which time I clicked on the xterm bar at the bottom and it closed xterm. I'm guessing it continued to build because I could see it in the 'ps' command. When id suspected it had stopped I tried the "firefox &" command in xterm and it said; [1] 52812 firefox: command not found So I then continued to try and re-build it, then popped up plenty of file checks and then Building for cairo-1.0.4_1 followed by a bunch of file names and then error code 1 in the folder of the port. I looked on the net and others have had problems building cairo while trying to build firefox but i cant figure it out alone, being new to nix. As the guide states i havent touched a whole lot that would conttibute to this, basically just an install, a build and install of xorg and editing a few lines of various config files to allow for different things.
