Thanks again Michael.  It worked and the install completed.  Seems there =
are
still references to libexpat.so.4 though as I cant run an xfterm and when=
 I
close the session there is a libexec/ld-elf.so.1:Shared object =
"libexpat.so.4"
not found error for every time I tried to.

Would a make deinstall and make reinstall in /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4 fix =
it?

Thanks for the tip about packages.
I was going to pkg_add mozilla next but I'll build it from source =
instead.

John.
