I did a 'portupgrade -af' afterwards and gtk link stage complained about not being able to link libcairo against libz.so.4, which I deleted with 'make delete-old-libs'. This happened on i386 and also on powerpc. I helped myself with a temporary sym link. Well, I might learn to play with the different options from portupgrade. But doing a 'portupgrade -af' before 'make delete-old-libs' should also have helped here, right? Thanks, Andreas
