So in summary, I can't install cairo because it wants to build libdrm, which won't build/install because it wants cairo. And I tried to install packages or the X11 distro from the ftp site and also from my 7.2 RC-1 media. I tried setting the Options for "any" as well as RELEASE_7_2_0, to no avail. My system is up and running multi-user, so sysinstall failed to install any packages. I built cairo with make -k install, so it would brute force past the error, and after that I built libdrm and cairo again with portupgrade -fr libdrm cairo. -- Steven Friedrich Lexington, KY 40509
