I had the same problem. Have you ever used cvsup? You need to cvsup the /usr/ports/x11 and /usr/ports/graphics directory and start again from scratch. I have kde 4.1 running. The b in beta should be a big B, quite a few of the supplemental apps such as kmail, kfm core dump regularly, but apart from that kde is quite good. Very much like cde in Sun's Solaris 2.6. -----Original Message----- From: Scott I.
