Hi folks,
today I wanted to install the LyX frontend to LaTeX using the ports syste=
m.
Since LyX depends on a whole lot of other stuff from which I had not much=

installed, I knew that it was going to be a long download.
After some time the PORTS system started retrieving the XFORMS library.
Unluckily, the internet connection crashed while doing so, which stoped t=
he
whole make process for LyX.

When I try to resume by typing MAKE once more, it does restart where it
left off, but it tries to unpack the incomplete-downloaded XFORMS package=

and gives me a CHECKSUM error and then quits. My guess is that I need to
delete the incompletly downloaded file, then do make again and it should
re-download it and be able to install it. Unluckily, I don't have a clue
where in the file system tree the PORTS-system has placed the incompletel=
y
downloaded XFORMS. I searched in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/xfroms but
couldn't fine it. So, where's it then?

See ya,
Nils
