The problem is that make, nor myself for that matter, is unable to fetch the distribution. The two ports that come to mind now are ncftp2 and xsnow. Neither of these ports have a distribution on ftp.freebsd.org in the /pub/FreeBSD/distfiles directory. I finally found the xsnow distribution in, I believe, current/distfiles, or something like that. I finally gave up on ncftp2. I'm afraid I can't provide more information, simply because it has been so long since I've tried. The other question is, why does xcolors have a dependency on ncftp2? Since I couldn't fetch the ncftp2 dist, I simply cut that dependency out of the Makefile... The program seems to work just fine... --- Joe Diehl Engineering Computing Center Kansas State University
