Hit another snag, seems to be related to doxygen.

(still) Installing xfce4 from /usr/ports/x11-wm with a fresh install
of FreeBSD 9.0-RC3 / FreeBSD-9.0-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img on an Acer
Aspire One netbook...

Seems to be going in an infinite loop of dependency checking. I'm getting a
'make max recursion 500 error' and the build bombs out. Just to see I went
to /usr/ports/devel/doxygen and make clean then make install with same
results. Just now starting to troubleshoot but if anyone has any hints that
would be great! :)

Thanks
