If there is another way, I would like to learn of it. Anyways, for this release, I simply d/l'ed the contrib332.tgz package from Xfree86.org, renamed it to contrib331.tgz so the "make install" would find it, stuck it in /usr/ports/distfiles, and ran "make install", telling it to ignore the wrong file size. Seems to have worked. The make install script seems to only apply one patch to the xman section, in vendor.c, and the patch still took.

Ummm I tried an install without Kerberos/DES.. It seems user ppp needs DES, at least.. "Can't find libdes.so" or some such nonsense.... installing just the DES package worked, though. - Bob Governments, like diapers, should be changed often, and for the same reason. bjg@otherspace.net | http://www.otherspace.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
