Top posting is generally considered rude, just so you know... Any rate, your next option is to locate the missing library, figure out whe= re=20 your app thinks the library should be, and then ln to it so that your app=20 sees the link... Any particular reason you're using portmanager (I haven't used it recently,= =20 but have had bad experiences with it in the past. I'm one of those who=20 prefer portupgrade). Of course, I'm not saying this is a fault with=20 portmanager. I honestly don't know. I was just wondering why you were usi= ng=20 it (ie maybe it's been matured enough that I should check it out again). Don't know what else to tell you.
