I'm running -stable as of yesterday and just (also yesterday) ported xv along with tiff and jpeg. I managed to get all three built and installed successfully. I retrieved the tiff, jpeg, and xv ports directories from ftp.cdrom.com, installed them locally, went into each directory (starting with jpeg and ending with xv) and did a "make" and "make install". I had no problems installing any of the ports. >fvwm.. I install it, it wants xpm, i install xpm, and make install fvwm, >and it can't find xpm, although its already installed, and it too will >not run... Can't help you there - I used package not the port for fvwm. Dan Eischen deischen@iworks.InterWorks.org
