(the way it's supposed to work, AFAIK) I got no such > Check /etc/make.conf and /etc/defaults/make.conf On my RELENG_4 box which hasn't been cvsup'd in a few months, there is no file "/etc/make.conf" Regarding /etc/defaults/make.conf.. am I to assume that this file should be customized and copied to /etc? Furtheremore, if I were to uncomment "NO_X= true", what would have happened when I went to install the mtr port, which wanted gtk as a dependency? Would it automatically not fetch/compile XF86, or would it do it anyway because gtk is a dependency? Aren't the settings in make.conf just for building the base system? To further complicate matters, my main RELENG_4 box doesn't even *have* gtk, yet it has mtr installed and working. (maybe I installed it as a binary from the release disks... but then, why wouldn't it have gtk if the port depends on it?) I can't even find a manpage or other docs for "gtk" on the machine that now has it installed. I'm sure there might be something in the X11 or gnome directories that is some variation of "gtk", but are you starting to see my point about what I'm going through just to install a rudimentary command-line traceroute utility?
