Odd thing is that so far gnucash is the only installed package that > generates this error. I suppose I can pkg_delete it and try reinstalling. It could be a problem with the DBDriver. You could try this: Edit /root/.cs... and add PORTS_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash PKG_DBDRIVER=bdb1_hash Then execute this in your shell also. Then do: pkgdb -u && portsdb -u && portupgrade -R gnucash -- Alex Articles based on solutions that I use: http://www.kruijff.org/alex/FreeBSD/
