First, I believe that the port has been updated to:
linux-fontconfig-2-2.4_4 in the ports system. You could try this
procedure.
1) Update your ports tree
2) Install 'portmanager' if it is not already installed
3) Run: portmanager x11-fonts/linux-fontconfig -l -f -y
That will create a log file, '/var/log/portmanager.log' that you can
inspect after the process ends. If it does not complete successfully,
you will have a better idea of what the problem is.
Yup, see my previous reply: I wasn't updating the X11 ports in my
supfile. But, this brings up another issue...
Thanks for the tip about portmanager. However, I use usually execute
make directly. In fact, what I *like* do is something like "make |
tee logfile.txt" so I can go back and inspect the output. But a
number of ports execute a gtk(?)-based config that displays
full-screen. When using tee (or, of course, redirecting output
via >), it's next to impossible to navigate around the config screen
in my term.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Is there a way to get them
to use a traditional configure dialog that presents one option at a time?
(I was baffled the first time one of these screens popped up. It just
seems so antithetical to the whole compiling from source thing,
y'know? Like gourmet cooking in a microwave or something...)
