You're having errors because you haven't installed the other ports each window manager needs (e.g. both Window Maker and AfterStep require that you install png first). Usually you won't be able to install a port without the required ports already installed (did you force an installation?). If you're doing this on a machine connected to the Internet, it will automatically fetch the required ports. If your machine isn't connected (as seems to be the case), check out http://www.freebsd.org/ports, which lists the requirements for every port. __________________________________________ Charon@freethought.org http://members.home.net/tuathadedanann/ "Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth." -Albert Einstein __________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
