ImageMagick fails to build for me. I guess it is because I do the
build as root while a different user "owns the display". (I do
use kdm for login and start the build after su in a Konsole.)
Built just fine for me, about an hour ago, on -CURRENT with no
KDE involved. OPTIONS screen worked fine.
Thanks. As I said, I tried to build with root while root was not allowed
to use the display. Granting root access with 'xhost +local:' or 'setenv
XAUTHORITY /usr/home/USER/.Xauthority' fixes the problem. Having to do
that was kind of unexpected for me...
In any case, I saw no evidence that the build of ImageMagick even needed
to be run within an X11 environment. Examining the output from
script(1) for the upgrade of ImageMagick shows no instances of the
string "DISPLAY," for example. (The string "display" shows up, as the
name of one of the programs in the ImageMagick suite.)
My experience was that ImageMagick did build, but it also put up a
little window with a message on it. So my feeling is that the OP is
correct, and that at least on some versions of FreeBSD (in my case 7.0)
that access to an X11 environment is required for the port to install.
