I have just updated the ports collection and tried to compile XFE but is is marked as broken: #make install clean xfe-0.72_1 is marked as broken: Does not build with current fox-devel version. Update your ports collection and you will get the same error as mine. (Before updating the ports collection I had the same error as yours) I think is is a matter of waiting for them to fix it. I have tried to fix the makefile but I am not an expert and I abandoned. Ramiro. > > So I figure I would like to try compiling from the latest > source from the XFE site on sourceforge.
