It will be a couple of days. It will also die when I try to update a computer 
I call topaz. I fixed it by doing a portupgrade -rR cairo

All that was accidentally left from the suggested upgrade was this

I did everything in a separate window but did something much later that 
scrolled the cairo failure off of the screen. It was complaining about glitz 
and glitz was not in the portupgrade build path because of the -rf.
