I am trying to compile gimp on -current right now and x11/babl and graphics/gegl both have this problem. Take a look at http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-8-failure.html for more examples (click on the link on the right under Package to see the logs). There are currently over 600 broken ports in -current, all the ones I clicked on in a completely bogus sample had this same problem. Doug -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
