(5.0-R to 5.0-R p4) If you're not terribly familiar with FreeBSD, you probably shouldn't be working with the development branch. I'd recommend starting over with 4-STABLE. Not only are you less likely to have problems with it, but those here helping have a much greater depth of experience with it than with 5-CURRENT. If you don't want to move back to the production branch, you should CVSUP to 5-CURRENT, not 5.0-RELEASE p4, and then send your problem reports to current@freebsd.org. Note that users of current are expected to be able to do at least some debugging/fixing themselves. > Sensing an opportunity for more experience, I > performed a 'pkg_delete -a' and then a 'make > install" for Xfree86-4.

Without the actual text of the error messages, there's not much hope of diagnosing the problem. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
