problem in installing x window on freeBSD 7.0
i have installed freeBSD 7.0 using the 5 cds.
when i try to install the gnome or kde during the post-installation, the following error appears:
"ghost-script gpl-8.60 aborted error 1 ......."
Do u think that the cd(it's the second cd) is corrupted or i missed some steps which i should follow.
I can add some steps if there need be.

wv2-config
WV2-CONFIG(1) General Commands Manual WV2-CONFIG(1)
NAME
wv2-config - script to get information about the installed version of wv2
SYNOPSIS
wv2-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags]
DESCRIPTION
wv2-config is used to determine the compiler and linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs that use wv2.
OPTIONS
wv2-config accepts the following options.
--prefix=DIR
If specified, use DIR instead of the installation prefix that wv2 was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and
--libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix is not specified. This option must be specified
before any --libs or --cflags options. If no DIR is specified then the current installation prefix will be written to standard out-
put.
--exec-prefix=DIR
If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that wv2 was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and
--libs options. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. If no DIR is specified then the current
installation exec prefix will be written to standard output.
--version
Print the currently installed version of wv2 on standard output.
--libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a program against wv2.
--cflags
Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program that uses wv2.
SEE ALSO
Some documentation regarding the design of the wv2 library is available in /usr/share/doc/libwv2-dev/design/ .
AUTHOR
The wv2 library was written by Shaheed Haque <srhaque@iee.org>, Werner Trobin <trobin@kde.org> and David Faure <faure@kde.org>.
