Hi

I'm getting the following build error:

<snip>

google picked up 1 match against my error, which seemed to be quite 
positive at first, at 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/pipermail/xorg/2004-August/002280.html, 
however:

a) I thought the xorg base was /usr/X11R6 on FreeBSD, and can't see any 
alternative

b) according to that thread, it was fixed shortly afterwards in August 
last year.

My ports tree is current as of today, and it's building 6.8.1 which from 
what I can see is the latest version.

This is on FreeBSD 5.3 --STABLE (as of today). Any assistance would be 
appreciated.

Regards
