And from kdm I always start KDE without problems. kdm is started from /etc/ttys in the usual way: ttyv8 "/usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon" xterm on secure I did nothing to the files in /usr/local/share/config/kdm. It just worked the first time I tried. I couldn't find info on this core-dump on XFree86. > - Building: are you really that short on disk space? /usr/src is "only" > 1/3G, and disks are cheap these days. (Well, 300M seems small to me, since > it's less than 1% of my disk space, but maybe I'm spoiled.) Yes. :-| I only had reserved 2 GB of my 20 GB disk for FreeBSD and accepted the default 512MB swap (256MB RAM), so it's pretty tight. And I'm a pour student, so buying a new one isn't an option for me now. > and /usr/include is all you should need for compiling any program unless it's > actually part of the kernel or a kernel module, which plugger should most > certainly not be. Ok, thanks. I'll do what Salvo suggested: cvsup to a recent -STABLE. BTW, also thanks to Salvo for your helpful msg. My current /usr/include/g++ is from Sept 18, so Salvo's guess was right.
