Nothing is wrong there. What you must do is go to the /usr/ports/graphics/xpm directory and type: "make install; make clean" > After I installed a package,I don't know how to execute it. > What should I do? > e.g. > After I installed 'spice'(a general circuit emulator),I changed > to /usr/ports/cad/spice.

Check the file PLIST in the pkg directory of the specific port. ie "/usr/ports/cad/spice/pkg/PLIST" and take a look there to see if you can find the spice binary. > Thank you very much Pleasure... --brad I'm a FreeBSD user-- All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
