This is on -current, the package is from the 2.2.1 CD. I checked out the corresponding port and rebuilt the xview-package, and everthing worked fine. So do a cd /usr/ports/x11/xview-lib and make all . Recompiling the xview library may take an hour or so. Then delete your already installed faulty xview packages. (pkg_delete xview-config-3.2.1 and pkg_delete xview-lib-3.2.1) and finally do a make install, and restart your application. If this works please let me know, we should fill out a send-pr sheet.
