Yeah, I reformatted the entire slice, then reinstlled DragonFly, and I'm
still getting the same problem.  I'm going to play around a bit tonight
and see if I can massage a build out of it.  If I get it to build, I'll
let you guys know.
Thanks for your help and suggestions.

hum, maybe I'll make a symlink for the dumb linker
   

 

yellow# cd /usr/lib
yellow# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libXThrStub.so.6 ./libXThrStub.so
yellow# ld -lXThrStub
/usr/libexec/elf/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not

Now you can compile your XFree-4 port......
   

That only does you any good if you have the XFree86 libraries installed
in the first place, right?  If you don't, you're still screwed.

Well, I *think* at the point your XFree lib compile is blowing up that 
has made it.
But if not you can find the library in the same place your building your 
ports.

yellow# pwd
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-libraries/work/xc/lib/XThrStub
yellow# ls -l
total 50
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    661 Oct  2 11:11 .depend
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel    759 Dec 20  1998 Imakefile
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  28872 Oct  2 11:08 Makefile
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   6398 Jan 14  2003 UIThrStubs.c
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   1384 Oct  2 11:12 UIThrStubs.o
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     18 Oct  2 11:12 libXThrStub.so -> 
libXThrStub.so.6.1
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     18 Oct  2 11:12 libXThrStub.so.6 -> 
libXThrStub.so.6.1
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel   5243 Oct  2 11:12 libXThrStub.so.6.1
yellow#

Then go to your /usr/lib and ln -s 
/usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4-libraries/work/xc/lib/XThrStub ./libXThrStub.so

Cool ?
