Error starting gnome-shell

Hi Folks,

I have FreeBSD 8 running GNOME 2.28.2 built from the ports. I have installed x11/gnome-shell but am unable to start it using either "gnome-shell" or "gnome-shell --replace". Placing the latter in the start-up also fails. Here are the outputs from the commands

gnome-shell

Code: 
Failed to start shell
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/gnome-shell", line 264, in <module>
    shell = start_shell()
  File "/usr/local/bin/gnome-shell", line 137, in start_shell
    (server_glx_extensions, client_glx_extensions, glx_extensions) = _get_glx_extensions()
  File "/usr/local/bin/gnome-shell", line 67, in _get_glx_extensions
    glxinfo = subprocess.Popen(["glxinfo"], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 621, in __init__
    errread, errwrite)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1126, in _execute_child
    raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

gnome-shell --replace

Code: 
Failed to start shell
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/gnome-shell", line 304, in <module>
    restore_gnome()
  File "/usr/local/bin/gnome-shell", line 165, in restore_gnome
    import gconf
ImportError: No module named gconf

I have an Nvidia card (8600M) and have installed the latest driver from the ports.

Any help would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you.
