今天在FreeBSD 5.4 Release中安装Firefox， 先更新ports tree到最新版本：
FreeBSD# cvsup -g -L 2 /root/ports-supfile
然后到Firefox的目录中去执行make:
FreeBSD# cd /usr/ports/www/firefox
FreeBSD# make
没多久，系统就爆出了编译错误：

引起这个问题的原因是Firefox在老版本的nspr上会存在问题，无法通过编译！
于是决定安装新版的依赖包：
FreeBSD# cd /usr/ports
FreeBSD# make search name=nspr
查出来有如下几个：
Port: nspr-4.4.1_1
Path: /usr/ports/devel/nspr
Port: dnsproxy-1.13
Path: /usr/ports/dns/dnsproxy
Port: transproxy-1.5
Path: /usr/ports/www/transproxy
对他们一一进行make, make install后，再来安装firefox即可！
