It is rather painfull for those of us who follow the XFree alpha/beta/release cycle and blow away our /usr/X11R6 often to have to go back and rebuild all this stuff. Or rembering which ports install into /usr/X11R6 and overriding this with a PREFIX=/usr/local. I know I loose stuff every time I upgarde XFree86 :-(. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
