Just install it with "portupgrade -fN x11-toolkits/open-motif", and run "pkgdb -F" to fix up the dependencies. That's all. You either don't understand how ports works (which is nothing to be ashamed of, since it's damn complicated) or you're just missing the obvious. Either way, don't worry about it, the port is fixed. -- Alan Eldridge Unix/C(++) IT Pro, 20 yrs, seeking new employment.
