I don't have any libX ports installed currently, although I believe something installed libXext at some point in the past and I do see the libXext installed=yes come up compiles. I don't know enough about libXext to know if that is related but it doesn't show up as an installed port. I also took the step of cleaning out past work files and updating my ports tree. I started the portinstall of kdebase and it successfully installed the required XFree86-libraries and finally failed with the same error while working on kdebase. Of course, because kdebase is deleted, KDE now fails to run. So, I'm ready for another idea. The only thing I can think of is a complete reinstall of XFree86 but I don't know if that would solve it. If there was a simple symbolic link I could kill or some other pruning I could do it would seem more direct but I don't know where to start and it probably isn't that simple. Thoughts? thanks Mike
