Maybe I'll try uninstalling the ghostscript-gpl port and retrying > libspectre. Your ports tree seems to be out of whack. Do you actually do portsnap update after fetch? There's no more ghostscript-{licensetype} ports, only ghostscript7 and 8, with -nox11 and font variants. I would suggest deleting ghostscript-* from your system, check /etc/make.conf, pkgtools.conf and your environment variables for anything GHOSTSCRIPT_* and remove those. The run dependencies for libspectre should read: make -C /usr/ports/print/libspectre/ -V RUN_DEPENDS /usr/local/etc/mtree/BSD.gnome.dist:/usr/ports/misc/gnomehier gs:/usr/ports/print/ghostscript8 -- Mel
