The "meta ports" are a joke. I was able to make kde, but only in the following order: first, make kdelibs, then kdebase, then any of the peripherals like kdesupport and kdenetwork. Actually, kdenetwork would not build, so I downloaded the package and used pkg_install to install it. Also, I made gnome, but only by bypassing the "meta port" and going straight for gnomecore. -- Best Regards, Joseph You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm. Colette.
