Hi,

I was installing jEdit via ports, and it failed, suggesting I send the
output to you (whoever human watches over this).  Below are the last few
lines of the make install until it failed:

checking for gcc... (cached) cc
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... (cached) yes
checking whether cc accepts -g... (cached) yes
checking for cc option to accept ISO C89... (cached) none needed
checking dependency style of cc... (cached) gcc3
CWARNFLAGS+= -Wold-style-definition -Wdeclaration-after-statement: not found
checking for cpp... /usr/bin/cpp
checking if /usr/bin/cpp requires -undef... yes
checking if /usr/bin/cpp requires -traditional... yes
checking whether to use XCB... (cached) yes
./configure: 21141: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to x11 at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/x11/libX11/work/libX11-1.2/config.log" including the output of
the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide
an overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls
/var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/libX11.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/editors/jedit.
[root at pcbsd]/usr/ports/editors/jedit(48)#

And here is the suggested config.log:

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by libX11 configure 1.2, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.62.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --datadir=/usr/local/lib --with-xcb=yes
--enable-malloc0returnsnull --x-libraries=/usr/local/lib
--x-includes=/usr/local/include --prefix=/usr/local --mandir=/usr/local/man
--infodir=/usr/local/info/ --build=i386-portbld-freebsd7.2

I'm on the latest edition (afaik) of PC-BSD on a not-too-fast machine with
lots of memory, and although my son may be a reall wizz at computers, I'm
not.  If you suggest something, it'll have to be quite explicit as to what I
need to do.

So can you suggest what might be done to fix the problem and enable me to
install jEdit?



Thanks in advance.
