Yes this is what I have done. But I wasn't sure about whether this was a workaround or not : what I felt the most disturbing was that the port framework didn't see the installed imake version and tried to build another one. But with your answer, I assume this is a must to have /usr/X11R6/bin in $PATH, even for the root user. I was a little bit sceptical since I don't used to run X11 applications as root. Thanks for your quick answer. Regards, -- Jeremie Le Hen jeremie@le-hen.org
