Tried again, made sure I picked []set XFree86 Setup Utility from the
Basic X dialog, and selected Graphical Setup when that option was
presented. When I got the dialog saying 'Press Return to enter graphics
mode (This may take a few minutes)' I checked on the debug VT session and
saw:
ldconfig: /usr/lib/compat: No such file or directory
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=2
<same message 7 more times>
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=61
In order to get X Setup I must install compat something somewhere?

I updated the source for pkg_add (and ONLY pkg_add) and recompiled. Now
XEmacs does install completely but does not run - can't find the library
libjpeg.so.7.0. Couldn't find it on my system so its not just a path
problem. Is this an install problem or a packaging problem? Or do I
have to update more directories under pkg_manage?
Emacs still does not install - no copying, no messages, no nothing.
