I receive the following error report:

"/etc/make.conf", Line 1: need an operator
make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue

When I try to install Type 1 fonts.

The only syntax listed in my /etc/make.conf file is  
"XFREE86-4.1.0.6" on line one.

The installation instructions for X v. 4.x said to add this syntax to the file.
I must have messed up the make.conf file when I did so.

If I follow the instructions for make world in chapter 19 of the handbook  
can I recompile my system to version 4.4?  

I need to fix the system, and I would like to avoid reinstalling the OS.  

I almost have a functional system.
