Subject: How to resume 'make install' (of X11) after stop?

Hello,

I'm rather new at this game, so please bear with me. (Have looked through the 
FAQ & handbook)

Trying to install X11 from the ports collection, I had su'd to root but 
forgotten the -l option (default is -m). Therefore 'make install' died when 
trying to execute ldconfig.

As this is towards the end of the (lengthy) install, is there any way I could 
resume the installation without having to recompile? (I think it's completely 
finished with the man page installation.) If not, I fear I might possibly even 
have to do 'make clean' and before 'make install', as it seems that make makes 
backup files (of at least some files), and I have very little space to spare.

Please cc me any reply.

Thank you in advance,
Best regards
Are Bryne
