Hello,
Has anyone came across this error and know how to fix it?
It always occured on my machines when I mixed bag kde-3 and XFree86.
If you are upgrading from major levels, it works better if you remove
them first and then upgrade. Kde-3 doesn't work with XFree86-3.x.x. It
is just the initial install where this happens. I think XFree86-4
stores stuff in different areas. For example, you need to rename
/etc/XF86Config to something else and then configure version 4.

Thanks

the ports are ksetispy, ksetiwatch, and uml.
They all complain about not finding libXext.
It is found in /usr/X11R6/lib directory.
