They aren't detected by the ports system, and it will let you install ports that overwrite parts of other ports or the system. > How can one know whether there are conflicts with other ports? Usually because the names are similar. I'm not sure where Kris got the idea that imake couldn't coexist with XFree86 4. I've got imake 4.3.0 installed as well as XFree86 4.3, and haven't had any problems. For that matter, I have a slew of ports that are tagged as depending on imake, though why they should depend on it after the build I don't know. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent Network/Unix/Perforce consultant, email for more information.
