Hi, I'm running FreeBSD 7 on an Athlon64 based machine with a 64 bit kernel. The machine is supposed to be a server (at home) so there's basically no Xorg involved. Now I want to monitor what the system is doing and I decided to install sysutils/conky from ports. The problem is that conky crashes with a "BadDrawable error". I searched the net for some time and found evidence that conky might not work in 64 bit mode. I tried to recompile it - the entire Xorg packages - but every time I end up having 64 bit binaries. I have CPUTYPE and CFLAGS commented out in /etc/make.conf, but the problem seems to arise from the configure scripts used by Xorg. For example during "make install clean" on xproto configure states: checking build system type... amd64-portbld-freebsd7.0 checking host system type... amd64-portbld-freebsd7.0 checking for style of include used by make... GNU checking for amd64-portbld-freebsd7.0-gcc... cc I wonder if it's possible to somehow override the build system type information? Christian
