hi there got a little problem here. i've been battling with this problem for a few days but with no success. Naturally i checked FAQs and searched archives but again with no success. I just installed xfree86 with no problems and setup the config. so far so good. now i decided to install gnome. I went to the ports/x11/gnome and used make install just like with any port. one of the dependencies is imlib which has dependencies of it's own. giflib3.0 refused to finish building with no apparent reason. i decided to install the package and did so with no problems. i then wanted to continue the gnome install. the process continued with no problem with giflib. then came gtk. failure. it stopped after checking for X which it didn't find. It says it requires the x binaries. as i said i have x working perfectly. when i try to install the package it says could not find xfree863.3.3.1 package (or something like that) but finishes the install. the install of gnome continues once again but again in another dependency stops with the same problem of not finding X. there are a lot of dependencies and i do not want to use the packages for each since it is obvious there is a problem there too. even if i mange to get around the problem i like to fix the problem not just override it. another thing that might be connected is that sometimes when i open /stand/sysinstall (in order to install the packages) it says some thing about read.toc or something of the nature. i can't be sure because the holographic shell covers it and i can't see what it says. i'd appreciate any reply on this matter. thanks in advance, Alon.
