Description andrew 2001-09-23 22:30:15 UTC 
I was able to install KDE after attempting to build the ports (XFree86 and KDE).
After attempting to build, I was able to get the package to install. 

uname -a says: 
FreeBSD catnip.grillet.home 4.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE #0: Tue Sep 18 11:57:08 PDT 2001     
murray@builder.FreeBSD.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386

(.home is behind the firewall)

Bonobo is broken.  It cannot build. 

regards

Andrew

Fresh install on clean HD. Base installation goes OK.
X installs and runs.
Attempting to install KDE or Sawfish+Gnome from /stand/sysinstall fails.
Error cited missing AOUT files to do with xpm.
[Installing same from packages has same problem. Installing from ports still in progress 24 hours later!]

How-To-Repeat: Fresh install from CD ... select KDE as desktop in /stand/sysinstall.

  Hmm..  I thought I tested installing this software and it worked
fine.  What if you choose the Xfree86-aoutlibs package first?
