Subject:   How to install xfm
Message-ID:  <864rzewhcb.fsf@dumpster.io.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help

When I attempt make install xfm, it complains it cannot find
Xaw3d.6 and quits.  (In certain of the following events, it
can't find registration for Xaw3d-1.5, tries to install Xaw3d-1.5,
makes Xaw3d-1.5, but can't install it because it is already installed,
and dies.

I have tried deinstalling and reinstalling Xaw3d-1.5 first.  I have
cvsupped the ports tree current and deinstalled and reinstalled
Xaw3d-1.5.  Finally I removed the whole ports tree and downloaded
and installed the whole tree from ports.tar.gz.  Nothing seems to
help, and of course xfm port is right, there is not a file libXaw3d.6,
or Xaw3d.6.  There is the business in installing Xaw3d-1.5 of making
a symbolic link so that the 3d widgets replace the 2d widgets, and
I have tried it both ways without being able to get xfm to build.

I have similar problems with many x ports.  I am running 4.1.1-
Stable.  

So what is the deal?

Also, what happened to the handy README.html files?

       Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
