Hello,

I am trying in install Xfce4 in FreeBSD 7.0 on my laptop. I try to use
the ports by saying:

-----
# cd /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4
# make install clean

But then I get the following error:

I am clueless. Could somebody help?

Try running a make clean in x11-wm/xfce4-wm and have another go - it looks
like some kind of artefact from a previous, unsuccessful attempt to
build it.

portsclean, part of the portupgrade package, can help with things like
this - run portsclean -CDD every so often to keep your workdirs clean,
and to remove distfiles for ports that aren't installed.
