The I went for kde3. This installed a large nummber of packages. But is stopped at threads_posix.cc:361: error: aggregate 'Arts::PosixThreads::timespec abstime' h as incomplete type and cannot be defined gmake[2]: *** [threads_posix.lo] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/audio/arts/work/arts-1.5.10/mcop_mt' gmake[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/ports/audio/arts/work/arts-1.5.10' gmake: *** [all] Error 2 *** Error code 2 Stop in /usr/ports/audio/arts. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/audio/arts. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kdelibs3. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kdebase3. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kdebase3. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kde3. How do I go from here - I feel uncertain, since my experience with FreebSD ports system is almost nothging and with portupgrade etc.. is zero for the moment. I would like not to make errors. The mail from the nightly cronned portsnap does not report anything about arts-... 'needs updating'. Why not ? Checking http://www.FreeSBD.org/ports I see, there is a fix from Mon 12 Jan 11:25 UTC, but this date is two days before the the creation of the /usr/ports/audio/arts directory (Jan 14 08:58) Does this mean I have the latest version? If not, why does portsnap not report it. Is is sufficient to do # portupgrade arts # cd /usr/ports/audio/arts # make install clean # cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3 # make install clean ? I prefer to ask in advance, avoiding getting me into trouble because of wrong approach..
