Installation cannot proceed. This looks like an incompletely removed old version of X. In the current versio n, /usr/X11R6 must be a symlink if it exists at all.Please read /usr/ports/UPDAT ING (entry of 20070519) for the procedure to upgrade X.org related ports.*** Err or code 1 My system is just fine as is, thanks, am I stuck not installling any of these ports unless I upgrade X?
