Configure script fails when building many ports (e.g. mozilla, spacehulk)

[freebsd at drseuk.f2s.com]

Jez,

pkgdb /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 indicates it comes from
XFree86-libraries-4.3.0_5 - so yes, I guess quite a few ports may be affected ;-)

The key bit seems to be the actually errors regarding libXext in the config.log
file. There's a load of gubbins about pthreads (beyond me to be honest).

Hmm!

Thanks for your help.
