I did a cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile several times, I went to all /usr/ports/x11*/dirctories and made a 'make clean' for al the ports therein, but nothing helped. > If this has worked, you can run the portmaster checks > again, but if I understood you correctly, getting WindowMaker > (not sure about the current correct spelling!) installed > and running is your top priority. At the very moment, yes. But I found pekwm (other wm than windoemaker compile without problems), it seems to be not bad either. But this damn windowmaker should compile too, aus Prinzip! But there is much mor "im Eimer" than windomaker only. But I can't find the "highest" port of all X-related. I deinstalled xorg and searched for remaining ports in /var/db/pkg seeming related to X or GUI stuff, an reinstalled x11/xorg (without HAL, which brings a failure too). Since long times, I often run into troubles when installing something gnome-related. I do not use gnome, but some applications need some gnome stuff. Well, at the very moment I need some advice for "cleaning" my system free of all GUI so that I can begin from zero with that. I decided to follow the rcipe at the end of mman portmaster and made all new. I didn't install all the ports that were installed, just what I really need - fetchmail, mutt-lite, vim-lite, slrn, lynx, inadyn, screen, mgetty+sendfax, and x11/xorg and opera. All compiled fine.
