Subject:   Compiling gtk12 - Too many symbolic links

Sirs,

I've recently waded through the Xorg-7.2 upgrade process on my FreeBSD-6.2 
box and, although it went pretty smoothly I have hit a snag. I have just 
tried to compile multimedia/xmms and it failed with the error "too many 
(levels of) symbolic links". On a closer look it was the gtk12-config 
script that was failing, like so (from compile attempt of xmms):

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.2... yes
checking for gtk-config... /usr/local/bin/gtk12-config
checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.2... ./configure.lineno: 
/usr/local/bin/gtk12-config: Too many levels of symbolic links
./configure.lineno: /usr/local/bin/gtk12-config: Too many levels of 
symbolic links
./configure.lineno: /usr/local/bin/gtk12-config: Too many levels of 
symbolic links
./configure.lineno: /usr/local/bin/gtk12-config: Too many levels of 
symbolic links
./configure.lineno: /usr/local/bin/gtk12-config: Too many levels of 
symbolic links
no
*** Could not run GTK test program, checking why...

If this is real and not just me being a bone-head, hope this helps.
