Upgrading gnome is fraught with errors, due to inadequate port dependencies. The last time I tried, I ended up installing portupgrade first, then using portupgrade to simplify the process. It still takes forever, but at least I finally got a clean install for gnome 1.4. Go to /usr/ports/sysutile/portupgrade and install it. It really is a great tool to use for making ports. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
