So I installed XFree86-4 assuming that I didn't have this, keep in mind that I have FreeBSD 4.4 so I was a little surprised to see that it wasn't already installed. Once I've installed it I try to install wrapper again and this is what I get: zeus# make install ===> wrapper-1.0_1 is forbidden: This port is for XFree86-4. Same thing, so why is this happening? Not only that but when I was running FreeBSD 4.3 it never used to come up with that root permission error for trying to run the X server. FreeBSD 4.4 was done as a clean install and was not upgraded. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
