XFree86-4-libraries seems to get installed, but the ldconfig gets all messed up and nothing else works. Stop and install libraries manually (make install in ports dir), then try portinstall again. This time it tries to start installing the fonts before the clients are installed and stops with an error. Stop again and install the clients by hand. Now, fonts install correctly. The whole dependency thing is a mystery to me as to how portinstall figures it out. For whatever reason, it seems to want to install fonts *first*, then server, then clients, then libraries. This is exactly backwards! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
