Of course you don't (as witnessed by the fact that it works, by default, for everyone else). However since *you* surely can read a makefile I was trying to educate you about why the problem is unlikely to extend beyond your local environment. > Looking at this issue again, it seems clear that it's a bug in the > Emacs port.

Since you say "DVD distribution" I'm assuming you bought some old version of FreeBSD on DVD, and it was an old version of X, which came with the old library version. When you reinstalled, you installed the current version, which works with the current ports collection.
