Just a shot in the dark for lang/gcc46, I'd say it's because Firefox dynamically links to a newer version of libgcc that is only available when it is installed. Its runtime dependency on archivers/zip can be explained by the fact that Firefox now packs its hundreds of GUI files (chrome) into a giant zip file (named omni.ja), for which it requires a zip library to read. You're welcome to tweak the Makefile to remove the runtime dependency and test it to see how badly it breaks; I've done the same to keep Perl and Python off my embedded system images when installing glib et alia. Glib only requires the languages for scripts used when compiling software, which is unlikely to occur on an embedded system. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net <CyberLeo@CyberLeo.Net> Furry Peace! - http://wwww.fur.com/peace/
