Use the ports system. If you did'nt install ports during the initial installation use /stand/sysinstall to do so now. Then # cd /usr/ports # cd x11-wm # cd afterstep # make # make install # cd /usr/ports # cd x11 # cd gnome # make # make install The ports system should grab any missing dependencies like libz for you automatically. If you change permissions on /usr/ports/distfiles so that you can write to it you'll only need root for the make install instead of the whole process as I've shown.
