repository of pre-compiled packages for powerpc?

[Rick Thomas]

Am I doing something wrong?

OK, so I wanted to install gnome.  I did
	cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome-desktop
	make config-recursive
I answered a *lot* of questions —
is there some way to say “just take the defaults. please”?
Then
	make install
It compiled a whole bunch of stuff — it took all night, in fact.
	
But it ended in an error as follows.

I tried taking the advice in the error message by doing

Then I went back to /usr/ports/x11/gnome-desktop
	make install
And got the same errors.

What can I do to get past this point?

Thanks,
