Would portupgrade help in this case to upgrade and/or install a newer version of the Gaim source/port for you to use? For example, I just ran cvsup on a clean new system (4.9R on a Dell laptop) to download the latest ports and source and the version of Gaim in my ports is now 0.73, the latest release. I know I'm scattershooting, but maybe I'm helping shed some light. In /usr/share/examples/cvsup there are sample supfiles that I just edit and use. The ports-supfile will download all current ports from the CVS tree to /usr/ports, and the standard-supfile will download all current source for your version (mine happens to be 4.9R) to /usr/src. Maybe try that and installing from the latest ports for your OS version and see what happens. pkg_add -vr cvsup-without-gui (to install the text only version of CVSup) ** -v is not required...I just like the verbose output to see what is actually happening.** logout/log back in...as root go to /usr/share/examples/cvsup edit the appropriate supfile as you see fit...remembering to edit the CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org line to reflect which CVSup mirror you want to hit....example cvsup5.FreeBSD.org. save changes and exit file(s) cvsup -g -L 2 ports-supfile cvsup -g -L 2 standard-supfile Just a few of my thoughts. Good luck. Pat On Wed, 2003-11-26 at 03:04, David Gerard wrote: > On 11/26/03 01:52, Bryan Cassidy wrote: > > >Why not just use the ports?
