| Greetings,

| I am having issues with building from port, Firefox 1.0.r2 on my

|
| Here is the output of uname -a:
|
| FreeBSD mako.tidalsea.com 5.3-RC2 FreeBSD 5.3-RC2 #1: Wed Nov  3
| 15:10:59 PST 2004     root at mako.tidalsea.com:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MAKO
|  i386
|
| The system was initially installed as 5.2 and each upgrade has pretty
| much gone smoothly.  This is the first problem I've really run into.
|
| I'm running Xorg as my xwindow server, with fluxbox-devel as the
window manager.
| When building firefox, the make runs with no issues.
| When I make install, it hangs right after it outputs "Building
| Chrome's registry..."
|
| Through a little detective work, I determined that it is hanging on
| the following line:
|
| # Instantiate the extension space as root.
| su - root -c "%%X11BASE%%/bin/xinit %%MOZDIR%%/run-mozilla.sh
| ${FIREFOX} -install-global-extension -- %%X11BASE%%/bin/Xvfb :1001"
|
| That line seems to be the cause of the problems.  It never really
| executes properly.  I have tried running it manually as root from
| within an X session and from the comman line.  Each yields different
| results.  Neither work!
|
| What can I do to solve this problem?

What happens when you run the command manually?  What shell do you have
setup for root?

Joe

| Thanks for your time!
