Hi, To come quickly to the point. I am new to FreeBSD/Unix and have just installed the current 4.0 version of the program (the 4.0 20002XX image from the local ftp-mirror) The program does install and boots afterwards without errors. But everything in relation with Xfree does not work Besides having chosen and setup(only question-answer-mode) XFree during the installation process, later on in the installation, when installing the XFree dependent software, there was the warning, that XFree wasn't found for each package. Beyond that, I`m not able to install any port or package. I change in the respective directory (where the makefile is resident) and type "make install" . The result is a bunch of "error code 1" announcements. After that I've tried to set some variables in "make" like DISTDIR=/where/I/put/the/tarfiles (as described in the handbook) resulting the same. I have to mention that the cdrom is mounted and readable, that doesn't seem to be the problem. After reading the manpages of "make" and "install", I decided to ask for help. Can You help? thank's for your attention...waiting for response Thomas Salmon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
