In my case, I first cvsup'ed my /usr/src tree, and did a buildworld and installworld to make sure I had the latest fixes to gcc. I then did a /usr/local/sbin/pkg_deinstall for imake and all pieces of XFree86-4. I do not have anything else X-ish (such as Gnome or KDE), so at that point I should have had an empty /usr/X11R6 directory. I did not, so I removed everything that was left over in that directory. I then cvsup'ed my entire ports collection, to make sure I had the latest snapshot of all the ports. In fact, in my case I first *removed* all of the files from /usr/ports/devel/imake and /usr/ports/x*/XFree84-4*, but I only had to do that because I had a lot of left-over patch files around from my earlier attempts to get X installed. And then I cvsup'ed the ports collection. I installed the perl port. I then did the command use.perl port which gets the system so it will consistently use the version of perl which I had just installed. I then installed imake-4. I then installed XFree86-4. In my case (a week or so ago), I ran into a problem were Wraphelp.c did not end up where it needed to be. That problem may be fixed by now, but at the time I just copied that file to where it needed to be, finished building and installing that port, and then went back to installing XFree86-4 (the "meta-port"). Other than the problem with Wraphelp.c, everything compiled OK and seems to be working OK. I know it is frustrating when you keep trying to build this and it keeps failing, certainly I was frustrated when I could not build it for a few weeks. But I do think that the XFree86-4 ports are now working correctly, even on -current. >make: don't know how to make /usr/X11R6/bin/ucs2any.pl.
