Hi everybody, I guess it is my turn to ask some newbie question here ;) Asus L8400b Laptop, running FreeBSD 5.0 current. After fetching the port and world sources with cvsup, building and installing both world and kernel, I installed XFree86-4 and Gnome2 using the ports. Then I was trying to install Gnome2-fifth-toe using the ports, but the system was aborting while trying to compile ImageMagick-5.5.5 because of a missing link in an internal ImageMagick header file. I do not list the screen output here because I was able to bypass it by installing ImageMagick using the precompiled package with pkg_add -r. The reason for my posting is that I would like to understand how the system works. Being fairly new to FreeBSD, I thought that the source code distributed over the ports is supposed to be error prone since it is tested before commited to the ports tree. Or is that to be expected when I am running the current branch instead of stable ? And if errors like this one are to be expected, should I report them ? If so, to whom ?
