Hello all,
 
I was trying to use ytalk on my new FreeBSD system (as I commonly have with
Linux), when I got the following error message:

--cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here---
ld.so: ytalk: Can't find shared library "libXext.so.6.0"
--cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here---

This looks like an X library, or a replacement library if one is not using
X.  I am not using X, and do not have it installed.  Does anyone know why
this happened?

Ok, so I thought I would get the current ytalk port...  I did, and it
didn't. :(  Anyway, here is the output from that failure:

--cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here---
Checksums OK.
===>  Extracting for ytalk-3.0.2
===>  Patching for ytalk-3.0.2
===>  Applying FreeBSD patches for ytalk-3.0.2
===>  Configuring for ytalk-3.0.2
xmkmf: not found
*** Error code 2

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
--cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here-----cut-here---

This time "xmkmf" was the culprit.  Seems to be another X library or
replacement library for people who do not use X?  Anyway, any help would be
appreciated, as I am not familiar enough with FreeBSD yet to know what is
wrong.  

Thanks;
