Even after copying the whole bunch of them in different directories and pointing on them with "make DISTDIR=/where/they/were" at that time didn't make it. What can i do? Is there some envirementvariable, that has to be modified? Has anybody experienced strange behavior installing current 4.0? There seems to lack a file in XFree86. When I try to start X, the system responds that it could not find ./.../../XFree86ThrStub.so.6 Another question: How do I set up my internet connection? I am behind a WinNt- proxy in our local net. I could already configure Lynx to use this proxy but the automatic downloading of ports doesn't work yet.
