I'm hoping to get an idea as to how to proceed with this without having to re-build the box from scratch. So, if I'm barking up the wrong tree here, could someone kindly let me know? I'll then try looking for help elsewhere. Hello, I have a few questions concerning the above task:- 1] From the *one* reply I've had to my earlier post concerning the gnome2 install failure, it appear that I have to re-install XFree86-4.2.0. Why is that after running pkg_delete on XFree86-4.0.2, "make" doesn't go out and get a fresh set of files for the re-install? Am I missing something about the make process here? Presumably there was something wrong with the XFree86-4 sources I got yesterday when I installed it, so I would have thought it logical that I should be obtaining a fresh set of source files for the new install. 2] To do the install of XFree86-4 anyways, what I did was pkg_delete of XFree86- 3 in /var/db/pkg; rm -rf /usr/X11R6/*, then editing /etc/make.conf to reflect that the XFree version is now 4 Is there something that I missed here? I ask in case it's the reason that /usr/ports/graphics/gle repeatedly flaking out on the gnome2 install. Replies from *anyone* is appreciated.
