I try to install xfce4 from ports.

It fails on that it cannot find the pango,gir file.

So I try to rebuild pango with the --enable-introspection

That one fails with this message :

checking for Harfbuzz yes checking for fontconfig no checking for corext no checking for cairo no

configure error: Could not enable any backends.

So I took the next step to rebuild font-config with --enable-introspection.

But it fails also with this message:

checking wether ln -s works yes checking system type Invalid configuration '/' machine '/' not recognized configure error / bin.sh ./config.sub failed.

Check this out, maybe it can help: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/31084/invalid-configuration-x86-64-m... Check the Pkgfile of fontconfig, check what's wrong with the ./config... part of the file. In the end, if nothing helps, why don't you simply pkgadd the packages from the Crux install CD? First install the ready-made packages from the CD and afterwards see what's wrong with their compilation to the newer versions. The trick is to have a stable running system first. For example, mount the ISO image: # mkdir /mnt/dvd # mount -o loop,ro crux-3.0.iso /mnt/dvd/ and then check out the crux directory, it's full with compiled packages of the core,opt and xorg repositories. Then just install the packages you need using pkgadd. Unmount the ISO image afterwards: # umount /mnt/dvd -- Rex <bjorn@krstarica.com>
