I have a problem ... I don't neccessarily want it fixed, but if the general direction of a fix could be explained, I'm willing to do what I need to do to get past the error myself. When trying to install either the linus-firefox, I found oout about the way to get the ports to either f8 or f10, so that's not the problem here. I began trying to install linux-firefox (using portmaster), and I set up to use -f10 at first. The installation of the X11-toolkit stuff failed in doing the f10 pango, which kept giving the error: /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules-32: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g_intern_static_string *** Error code 127 I checked, in the FreeBSD pango lib, that's a defined symbol, but in the Linux libs, it's (while in the lib) an undefined symbol (it needs to link to some other lib). I found a web post using Google, by Mel Flynn, which admitted the error and explained that there was no fix yet. I tried to deinstall all of my f10 ports, and replace them with the f8 flavor, but then I get another error stating that "The component dbuslibs is not defined for LINUX_DIST_SUFFIX=-f8". So, I can't get either the -f10 nor the -f8 installed, and I don't understand enough Linuxism to figure out what "pango-querymodules" is going (or not doing). Is there any way to get a current Freebsd-Linux port working? I sure hope I'm using the correct list here. I didn't want to cross-post, but couldn't find any freebsd-linux list, either. Maybe I'll try freebsd-ports if I fail here. Any hints, either on the problem or where to ask, gratefully received.
