thanks for reply, actually I managed to install  XF-4.2.0
from the ports back in January and did 
portupgrade -rv XFree86   
so I ended up having my XFree86-4 megaport deleted without 
having a new one, don't ask me why portupgrade did it to 
me. 
Evidently, there was a lot of junk left over in /usr/X11R6
which spoils now a new installation. XFree86-4-clients 
complains now about not able to link with -lGLU, will 
have to start with XFree86-4-libraries first.   
What is the right sequence to pull up XFree's ports
collection in such situtation ?    
thanks, Vlad
