First upgrading to intltool-0.41.1 solved this. When reinstalling xorg-server-1.7.7_6,1 with portmaster today: Making install in xkb mkdir: /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled: No such file or directory mkdir: /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled: No such file or directory So I checked /usr/local/share/X11/xkb/compiled and this is a symlink to /var/lib/xkb which did not exist at the time. I created /var/lib/xkb and the installation went fine then. There is one file installed in this location: README.compiled This worked, but is it the right solution? Does anyone know what changed maybe? This is on 9.1-RELEASE with a portstree just updated with portsnap. Previous versions of the ports were from about 20 days ago. Everything is installed the standard way. Just if someone runs into these issues these may be found in the list (or already have been solved in ports) Things like this do not happen too often.
