This is what I did to get it to work correctly. Well, it wasn't an upgrade using the instructions below - its actually a complete reinstall. Unfortunately, doing a portupgrade on kde didn't work for me. BTW, I was going from KDE 3.0 to KDE 3.1. I had to in this order manually: 1) install kde3libs 2) install kdebase3 3) install kde3 I'm not sure if the instructions at http://freebsd.kde.org/instructions.shtml would have worked for me. I found this AFTER I got 3.1 to install :( For some reason, doing the portupgrade for kde3 fails because it complains an option was selected to not install the KDE source. I also was missing /usr/local/include/ltdl.h which comes with libtool for some unknown reason. I had to goto into the ports directory for this port and run "make patch" and manually copy the ltdl.h file into /usr/local/include. I /may/ have done some more manual steps after step 3. I can't remember honestly as I did this last week and didn't write down everything I did. -- ........................................................ ......... ..- -. .. -..- .-. ..- .-.. . ... ............ .-- .. -. -... .-.. --- .-- ... -.. .-. --- --- .-.. ...
