Tim, how do you get fluxbox to compile?! I have installed 4.8R in the
past few days, updated ports, updated portupgrade, installed and run
freebsd-update, and cannot compile fluxbox for the life of me. I
don't think I am doing anything unusual, cd
/usr/ports/x11-wm/fluxbox/, make install clean, but the make keeps
bombing out. Seems to complain of a c++ type problem.

Anyways, if you have had recent install success, I would like to hear
if I am doing anything stupid.

Thanks much in advance.
