That could be the problem. I used "pkg_add
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages...... for some of the
packages, in order to get the most current version. I may have used the
wrong ftp folder on one of the them. Is
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-stable/ or using
"pkg_add -r" the most current packages for ver. 5.4? If so, I think I will
just start over with a clean install.

Thanks for help.
