If you're not terribly familiar with FreeBSD, you probably shouldn't
be working with the development branch. I'd recommend starting over
with 4-STABLE. Not only are you less likely to have problems with it,
but those here helping have a much greater depth of experience with it
than with 5-CURRENT.
If you don't want to move back to the production branch, you should
CVSUP to 5-CURRENT, not 5.0-RELEASE p4, and then send your problem
reports to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note that users of current are
expected to be able to do at least some debugging/fixing themselves.

Without the actual text of the error messages, there's not much hope
of diagnosing the problem.
