Hello, all: I am not terribly familiar with FreeBSD, but I am learning by getting my hands dirty. To that end, I have installed and updated via CVSup, kernel, system and ports. (5.0-R to 5.0-R p4) Shortly after that, X started crashing and dumping me at the command prompt, and then KDE began having difficulties which caused it to fail starting programs and interprocess communications failed as well. Sensing an opportunity for more experience, I performed a 'pkg_delete -a' and then a 'make install" for Xfree86-4. Eight hours later, when that was finished, I did a 'make install' for KDE3 as well. This has failed. the script I have recorded reveals that libmng is what is causing the failure. However, there are many error messages, and I cannot figure out how to transport the script from FreeBSD to Windows, Linux or a floppy disk to include in this request for help. The system I am using is a modified eMachine running a Cyrix 6x86-266 MHz processor with the original motherboard. The RAM has been increased to 192 megs, and the hard disk is 40 gigs, with a total of 5 gigs being allocated automatically for FreeBSD. TOP revealed that only a bit over 1.6 megs of swap had been used out of a gigabyte of it. I have been having a good time learning about FreeBSD this way, but now I am utterly lost, and I don't have a GUI anymore with which to seek help from within FreeBSD. What do I do from here? All help is appreciated. :) Thanks, Shannon __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
