Hi there... I'm new to FreeBSD so my questions here may just be because I don't know what I'm doing. ;-) I've installed your port and had no problems building it. I've run jpilot and all seems well. But... 1. The first time I ran it, it was using a grey background (which is what I want). The second time, although I didn't select a different background, it switched to a really grotty purple. Each of the provided jpilotrc.[colour] files is displayed in the Prefs menu controlling background colour, so I know jpilot is seeing them -- but I can't switch to anything other than purple! I've tried copying the jpilotrc.[colour] files into my ./jpilot directory and I've tried changing ownership and permissions on these files in the share directory. 2. Installing from the port puts jpilot's files into an odd location: /usr/local/pilot Under this directory a whole hierarchy is created /usr/local/pilot/bin /usr/local/pilot/etc /usr/local/pilot/include /usr/local/pilot/info /usr/local/pilot/lib /usr/local/pilot/libdata /usr/local/pilot/libexec /usr/local/pilot/man /usr/local/pilot/sbin /usr/local/pilot/share Why would the install not place jpilot's stuff in the existing /usr/local hierarchy? Like so: /usr/local/bin /usr/local/etc /usr/local/include /usr/local/info /usr/local/lib /usr/local/libdata /usr/local/libexec /usr/local//man /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/share As I said, there's lots I don't know about FreeBSD so I'm just curious why it would work this way. Thanks. M. -- Michael O'Henly To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
