Installing Gnome

[mikeglaz]

I got FreeBSD to install. But how do I install Gnome? I tried installing from the CD which I bought from FreeBSDMall and then compiling it. But the compilation has been taking literally the entire day. I started in the morning and now it's 6:40pm and it's still going.
I also tried "pkg_add -r gnome2" and then compiling it but the compilation ended in an error.

Do I still need to compile Gnome once I pkg_add -r gnome2?

No.

I get the following error after trying pkg_add -r gnome2:

gdm-binary[1285]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors

Do as it says and check /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
