Hi Adrian
Thanks for replying


I was running this command cd /usr/ports/x11/plasma5-plasma &&
make install clean when the error occurred. Then ran then
cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/kf5-attica && make install clean and the
above error was from that 
The file libdata/pkgconfig/libKF5Attica.pc
does not exit in this file ports/x11-toolkits/kf5-attica

Having not much experience building from ports I thought thing were
moving along quite until this error occurred. Slow process thou

Are they any up to date instructions?  Link?

There was packages I have never seen before in my ten years of using
KDE through various distributions. And again the November ( think
I did pkg install kde4) install did not have all of these. It would be
nice if someone somewhere had a bare bones kde install.

Lately things are broken more often than right. Some can be
attributed to my lack of knowledge, for I am not a developer programmer
etc. My objective for the last two years has been to find a system that
works. Debian Sid worked fine for six or seven years with few issues and
with the intro systemd I have been on a downward slope. So I am trying
to stop the slide
About a year ago I started with Kaos it worked fine for three or four
months then an upgrade killed it. Maderia had the same issue, Openbsd
did not like my dual graphics card and at that time I had trouble with
nfsv4. Next up was PCbsd. It installed fine ran fine very few issues at
first then the upgrade, trashed a couple of programs that i used
because of the upgrade to KF5, and their lumina seemed to take over
the KDE4 settings creating all sorts of havoc. So that is how I ended
up here
