incomprehensible xfce4 install trouble

A

amadeus

good day.

I'm trying to install xfce4 using the ports collection (freebsd 7.2-stable).

after few hours of installation process some problem occurs and the installation interrupts.

i tried to understand what could caused that error, but there wasn't any useful information in the logs.

here is a listing of what's happened during installation:
Code: 
gtk-doc: Fixing cross-references
cd . && gtkdoc-fixxref --module-dir=html --html-dir=/usr/local/share/gtk-doc/html
gmake[3]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/x11/xfce4-conf/work/xfconf-4.6.1/docs/reference' 
gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/x11/xfce4-conf/work/xfconf-4.6.1/docs/' 
gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/x11/xfce4-conf/work/xfconf-4.6.1'
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xfce4-conf.
*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4-wm.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11-wm/xfce4.
*** Error code 1

what should i do to solve the problem?

thank you in advance.

This is the real error :e

I don't have textproc/gtk-doc installed. Did you enable some options for XFCE?
Try rebuilding the gtk-doc port, make sure it installs properly without errors.
 
SirDice, thank you for help.

i manually rebuilt gtk-doc but the same error during installation of xfce4-conf occured.

Did you enable some options for XFCE?

yes, i did, but unfortunately i hadn't pay any attention on that :(

may be reinstalling xfce4 from scratch is the way of avoiding problem with gtk-doc?

how can i do that?
 
You can try doing # cd /usr/ports/x11/xfce4 && make rmconfig-recursive. This will remove all the selected options for XFCE and all dependencies. Then try building again, use the default options unless you know what you're doing ;)
