Portinstall problem (config.guess not found) ANSWER (sort of)

[Philip Payne]

Hi,

Had another search of the archives and found someone having a similar
problem making gtk12.
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-questions/2004-September/0581
90.html

Saw an answer that the issue was running the make in X.

So, I switched to a console and tried to install the port... bingo... no
problem. 

Switch back to X and try in aterm or xterm, still same "config.guess not
found" error.

Bizarre bug.. but at least there's a workaround for now. Don't do any "make"
functions in X.

Phil.

PS: This bug was also affecting my ability to make a new kernel.
