Do you have an internet connection when you typed make? Otherwise, with no internet connection, the fetch command will always fail. Also if you have the cd collection, check to see if the source code is supplied in that, and if YES, copy it to /usr/ports/distfiles and type `make` again from the ports/graphics/xpm directory. > > >>Attempting to fetch from > ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfile//. > /usr/bin/fetch:ftp.freebsd.org:Unknown host > >>Couldn't fetch it-please try to retrieve this > >>port manually into /usr/ports/distfile/ and try again. > ***Error code 1 > Stop. > What's wrong with my system?
