It depends how much more than the base system sysinstall added, for example since you don't mention building Xfree86, I assume sysinstall would have added it from packages on the CD. Also cvsup itself has gui dependencies and they would also have been installed before cvsup was run. I'm not saying it will fix your problem, but installing a new port on top of up-to-date dependencies, in general, gives you a better chance of a clean install - particularly with complex metaports like kde. In general I've found KDE to be much easier to maintain from ports than Gnome.

Re: cannot install KDE3 or KDE-LITE from ports
Yeh you do because KDE is NOT just kde, its a bunch of other libraries included, which wont compile a a dependency as the libraries required are already present in the system. Only the catch is the libraries are old. SO yo need a portupgrade. As you say that its a freshly installed system, I would say go for a cvsup and a rebuild of the main tree because of two reasons. Firstly the stock tree and kernel has loads of compatibility features which can be eleminated for good. You can also put optimization flags ( man make.conf, the CFLAGS section) which would largely affect the install. Regards S.

KDE is the first application i am installing after the standard installation of 4.10, and the error is a missing file. Shouldnt the cvsup'd port have everything I need ? I am thinking something is wrong with the most recent port.

Re: cannot install KDE3 or KDE-LITE from ports
I downloaded ports.tar.gz August 26, 2004 and am currently building KDE3. I did not run into an error with that particular file, however the graphics/ImageMagick Makefile and distinfo file defined 6.0.5.3 as the version it wanted to download. There is no such version at ImageMagick.org and the KDE3 build would fail at that point. I downloaded 6.0.6.2 and edited the Makefile and distinfo files appropriately, and am now continuing with the KDE3 build. By the way, building KDE from source is an excrutiatingly long process (more than 5 hours so far) with numerous menus requiring human response to continue, and of course the occasional error as described above. Unless you really need to compile from source (I didn't, I just wanted to try it) use the binary.
