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 _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno=61 In order to get X Setup I must install compat something somewhere? > > > I choose a whole whack of packages I need/want.

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. ---- Ken
