Depends on what you mean by "port isn't installed." It obviously won't find things that are in ports for which you don't have the port in /usr/ports. However, it will work for things that you haven't done a "make install" for. If you want to check things that you've done a "make install" on, then use this: find /var/db/pkg -name +CONTENTS | xargs grep <library> It doesn't suck quite so much - unless you have many ports installed. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
