In the current version, /usr/X11R6 must be a symlink if it exists at all.Please read /usr/ports/UPDATING (entry of 20070519) for the procedure to upgrade X.org related ports.*** Error code 1 Hi Desmond, When I was faced with this error I did the obvious thing and created a symlink, then restarted the install. Of course time will probably prove it to be an utterly boneheaded thing to do, but it seems to work for now. # mv /usr/X11R6 /usr/X11R6-2 # ln -s /usr/X11R6-2 /usr/X11R6 # make install Regards, Adam J Richardson
