Stop in /usr/ports/x11/linux-f10-xorg-libs.

I'm getting the same error for all ports dependent upon linux_base-f10. I've followed the updating and the problem remains. Ports are up to date.
Is there a link to updating to linux_base-f10 properly?
I have removed and rebuilt /compat.

Did "portsnap fetch extract and update" two days ago.
Followed UPDATINGs advice for updating ports to f10 using the f10 value in place of the recommended f8 value.
I've posted to the mailing list to see if anyone knows anything.
No reply from there as of yet.
Anything else that I need to check?
 
Okay.
Let me check after I finish running portsnap again. I'll post how it comes out.
It's working so far. Thanks.

I just done that:
Code: 
# portsnap fetch extract
# cd /usr/ports/x11/linux-f10-xorg-libs
# make install clean

And everything installed without any issues, but its on 8.0-RC2:

Code:

It's fixed now.
Forgot what I did besides follow the instructions here.
I also needed to add /proc to fstab to make the emulation work better.
 
I had trouble with the flashplugin and a few xlibs- mainly OpenGL- and needed some Linux apps. Seems that flash improved after I mounted /proc. Of course, correcting the Linux_base probably did more than I thought.
The default Linux base is outdated. It's a fedora core 5 prerelease and should be at least updated to f8 if not f10. Being able to use apps dependent upon older libraries is also a problem.
If all of my chosen linux binaries are fedora based, why not allow me to use older bases? Backwards compatibility doesn't seem to exist on the emulation layer. Come to think about it, has anyone had any luck installing a 64bit Linux base that had an ia32compat subdirectory within it?
