all, thanks for the suggestions. 1. CVSUP: I tried CVSup = it updated my ports skeletons, but while compiling XMMS 1.2.10, it needed a newer version of libogg, which could not be installed because mplayer-esound and artsd were using an older version of libogg. (mplayer had installed by then). I thought of doing a portupgrade to libogg, but this would have broken artsd and mplayer-esound. Is this a bug with the latest ports tree? 2. MAKE FETCH-RECURSIVE: Then I deleted the entire ports tree and installed it fresh from CD-ROM; then cd to /usr/ports/multimedia/xmms, then make fetch-recursive. This went on for an hour. It tried to fetch xc... and fetched libxml2. I killed this and did a simple make, which downloaded the correct libxml and 40 mins later, xmms was built. 3. Mplayer: mplayer built fine (except for a glitch which would download all skins regardless of the options chosen). But when I do: gmplayer &, I get a black patch in the bottom right corner of the screen, which should be the GUI. 3 hours later, I felt I may have been better off with Mandrake Linux, with Xine,Mplayer,xmms and other goodies installed within 1 hr. For now I am sticking with FreeBSD, but I'll soon install dual boot Mandrake Linux 9.1 for a usable computer. ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
