Should I uninstall KDE, install fam, > and then try KDE again? Try to ftp the file yourself and place it in /usr/ports/distfiles/ . If you didn't make clean in kde3, you can simply return to the kde3 directly and enter make again. Kde3 is pseudoport. It is just a way of building a whole bunch of kde components by claiming the pseudoport depends on them. It will skip the parts that have already been built and begin again with fam. It is pointless to uninstall kde. You can try to build fam on its own and then return to kde3 and make. In that case fam will be skipped too along with the other components that have already been built. The problem seems to be getting the file, and if you can't do that manually, the ports won't be able to either. -- Lars Eighner eighner@io.com -finger for geek code- http://www.io.com/~eighner/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
