Somehow I've ended up with 2 copies of gcc from ports in addition to gcc-3.4 in the base system. pkg_info suggests that only gcc-4.3 is needed: curlew:/home/mike% pkg_info -Rx gcc-4 Information for gcc-4.2.5_20081126: Information for gcc-4.3.4_20090419: Required by: fftw-2.1.5_5 I'm sure I haven't chosen to install fftw-2.1.5_5, and pkg_info -R doesn't show any other ports needing it. I was wondering if I could safely deinstall fftw and both the gcc-4 packages but wondered if pkg_info only shows the run dependencies and not the build dependencies. I don't mind the disk space needed but portupgrade sometimes results in having to upgrade 2 copies of gcc which is quite time consuming. -- Mike Clarke
