AFAIK pkg_add is supposed to take care of dependencies, but I almost never use it, prefering to build from source using the ports collection: # cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 && make install clean However, if you still want to use packages instead of source, I'm pretty sure if you use the -r flag with pkg_add it will auto-fetch-and-install the dependencies you need, as -r signifies to fetch the package remotely - i.e., pkg_add -r xfce4 (I just tried this with another package, and it installed the dependencies for it). - jt
