As long as I can do so without loss of functionality, I'll happily reduce the number of installed ports.... :-} > Start by removing the cyrix, imstt and nsc drivers and see if configure > will run then.

The others would have been automagically installed from installing the x11/xorg meta-port with minimal changes from the default options. I'm trying to be at least reasonable about keeping things up-to-date; how might I take appropriate evasive action to reduce the probability of a recurrence of this sort of thing? Thanks again -- being stuck with a handful of vtys was crampiing my style.... :-} Peace, david --=20 David H.
