One would ask as to why xorg has failed to compile, and it appears no one else here has experienced the same issue; hence the reason I suggested a clean removal of installed ports and a vanilla compile of it. I've updated my ports from the cvs, and haven't experienced an xorg compilation issue - I compile from the standard /usr/ports/x11/xorg location, and I don't see to suffer the same issues - co-incidence or simply being boring with the locating of things has saved me from compilation problems?
