X is not installed into the "base system". It is installed into /usr/X11R6. Why would it be reasonable to expect that it's built with world?

But that's another matter.... Yes they are. I built X 4.0.3_3 a few days ago. The problem Dan Langille reported yesterday was fixed when he cleaned the work directory before building. - jim -- - jim mock <mij@osdn.com> - O|S|D|N - open source development network - - http://www.freebsdzine.org/ - jim@freebsdzine.org - jim@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
