I believe that placing the line XFREE86_VERSION= 4 in /etc/make.conf is what is wanted. I have a machine where I installed XF86-4; I update the ports on it regularly -- just did so yesterday, in fact, after bringing it up to yesterday's 4-STABLE -- and it does *not* have such a directory: bunrab[3] ls -ld /var/db/pkg/X* drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 7 13:44 /var/db/pkg/XFree86-4.1.0_7/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 2 11:26 /var/db/pkg/XPostitPlus-2.3_1/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 2 11:43 /var/db/pkg/Xaw3d-1.5/ bunrab[4] Cheers, david -- David H.
