So either: 1) your X is newer than the package (in which case you ought to uninstall the emacs package and build it from the port instead) or 2) your X installation is goofed up (in which case you ought to reinstall X from ports). What does "ls -l /usr/X11R6/lib/libXaw*" show? If you get some files (not counting the ones with "3d" in their names), then you should do option 1 above, if not, do option 2. -- Ray Kohler "It's not just a computer -- it's your hiney." -- Cal Keegan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
