If anything is stale and goofed-up, it would be me. I use CVSup to keep ports current nightly. I decided to try again (sitting in front of the box, not at work): 1. removed /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (in keeping with problem report ports/30813) 2. checked and print/freetype2 port is installed, and libfreetype.so.7 was installed in /usr/local/lib 3. deinstalled / reinstalled evolution 4. tried running evolution. failed with "/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: shared object "libfreetype.so.6" not found 5. made link from /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so.6 to /usr/local/lib/freetype.so.7 6. deinstalled / reinstalled evolution. probably not necessary. 7. ran evolution, works fine. So, it works, with the link. Until libfreetype.so.8 get installed. Now, is this a problem with the evolution port? I really want to and am trying to learn here, so don't give up on me. Obviously I don't program but I'd like to help out where I can.
