    Be sure you have a completely fresh build/installworld and 
completely
    fresh ports and dfports, then deinstall the dependant ports (in 
particular
    imake) and rebuild and reinstall.
Yeah... I installed from the DragonFly snapshot and then have been 
CVSuping
ever since.  Is there any other step I should take to make sure I do 
this cleanly?

I can't build the kernel today either.

    It took a lot of work, er, hacking, to get XFree86 to compile.  If 
after
    all of that there are still problems, post the tail end of the 
output to
    the list.

I don't even see the XFree86-Server port... just libs.  I am doing 
CVSup and
cvs update -dP to get that.

    KDE and Gnome are another deal entirely... they would require a 
lot more
    work to get working.

Yep.  I don't really have the time or interest to work on GNOME but I 
will see what
I can do for KDE.  Its probably not going to be a one-man job in the 
long run though.
