I would still=20 recommend being connected to the internet when you run the make command=20 because any dependencies will be downloaded after it verifies that=20 gtk+-1.2.5-2.i386.rpm is in /usr/ports/distfiles. If you have any proble= ms=20 with any of the dependencies, download the files manually, put them in th= e=20 same dir and run again.
