Information for cairo-1.8.6_1,1: Depends on: ... Dependency: libdrm-2.4.9 ... If anyone has a has a test system, where they could try my scenario, i.e., deleting all installed packages and trying to install xorg, I think you'll find it. I have two identical systems that I have mobile racks in, allowing me to swap out the hard drives. So I have 4 sets of drives, Lightning, Daemon, FreakinBSD, and Gandalf. I saw this issue with Daemon. I need to update FreakinBSD and Gandalf, so I'll try this again and get it in a log file. libdrm doesn't build without cairo.h in /usr/local/include, but it won't be there until you're built cairo, which depends on libdrm. -- Steven Friedrich Lexington, KY 40509
