Sounds like you are trying to compile XV straight from the box.  Will not
work.  You want to start with the FreeBSD XV portball.

With FreeBSD CDROM installed (see handbook section 2.3.1):

    mkdir /usr/ports
    /usr/X11R6/bin/lndir  <cdrom_mount_point>/ports  /usr/ports
    cp xv-3.10a.tar.gz  /usr/ports/diskfile
    cd /usr/ports/graphics/xv
    make install

    (note that the source for the dependant libraries (jpeg and tiff) are
    on the cdrom already)

Without FreeBSD CDROM:

    mkdir -p /usr/ports/distfiles
    mkdir /usr/ports/graphics
    ftp the portballs for xv, tiff, jpeg from ftp.freebsd.org and untar
    them in /usr/ports/graphics.

    Read the Makefile's for each of these to see where to aquire the
    original source.  Put the original source to xv,tiff,jpeg in
    /usr/ports/distfiles.

    cd /usr/ports/graphics/xv
    make install



I installed XV last week using this procedure with NO problems what so
ever.  Works great.
