My ports tree is up to date -- i believe the "problem" (if you want to call it that) is that I installed gnome 2.12 from package at marcuscom (on a 6.0 RC1 system -- i needed 6.0 for some HW issues). I therefore have newer versions of certain files than many of the ports in the current tree are expecting. Does this sound like a reasonable explanation? Your answer is the one everyone has been telling me for the last week. And i truly appreciate the response. I keep thinking i'm asking the question wrong :) I would understand this answer if the dependencies i had were OLDER than what the port was looking for...but I have a NEWER version. For example, while installing pan2 it needs glib-2.6.6. I have glib-2.8.3. How can i properly get this port installed? ===> Installing for glib-2.6.6 ===> glib-2.6.6 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.7 - found ===> glib-2.6.6 depends on executable: pkg-config - found ===> glib-2.6.6 depends on shared library: intl - found ===> Generating temporary packing list ===> Checking if devel/glib20 already installed ===> An older version of devel/glib20 is already installed (glib-2.8.3) You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/glib20 without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/glib20. *** Error code 1 Thanks, I'm really not trying to beat a dead horse here. I have read all relevant sections of the handbook and man pages but the obvious seems to be escaping me. I truly appreciate the help.... mak.
