Xorg doesn't compile on ppc

When I try to compile xorg on my Powermac it fetches a few things then stops. It tells me it couldn't fetch a certain library and to try porting manually to /usr/ports/distfiles/. I don't know what that means.
 
It means that you will need to download the requested files into /usr/ports/distfiles. What may have happened is the download was interrupted, the path on the server/storage area changed, or even the files have been updated and not your system. Xorg on POWER/ppc has had a small bit of trouble recently. I suggest that you ask the mailing lists of both for help.
 
I'll try that. Does portsnap fetch update work even if you've never used portsnap?
 
I tried it and it hangs at "validating package integrity" or something. I'm starting to wonder if any command besides cd and ls works on this machine :OOO
