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. r
