Next, run: portmanager -u -f -l -y That will rebuild your entire system. I did that once and it did correct a lot of problems. The down side is that it will rebuild every port that you have installed and consequently consume a considerable amount of time if you have many ports installed; i.e. open office for instance. Since you have nothing to lose, I would try it out. Before you do it though, clean out all of the 'portmanger' files in the '/tmp' directory to insure that you get a fresh build, and be sure to start with the latest ports updates. --=20 Gerard gerard@seibercom.net Two wrongs are only the beginning.
