I put those lines in /etc/make.conf, and decided to make certain my packages db was up to date, so I delted /var/db/pkg/pkg.db and ran pkgdb -u to rebuild it then I tried to do a portupgade -fRr galeon. I got the following error message: black# portupgrade -fRr galeon Stale dependency: galeon-1.2.7_1 --> fontconfig-2.1_2 -- manually run 'pkgdb -F' to fix (-O disallowed when -R is given). So, I thought I would go check on that I went to /usr/ports/x11-fonts/fontconfig and did a make install. At this point I was reminded of a proble that had come up a week or so ago during an upgrade, and I ahd ignored (yes I know a bad idea). In ant case what ahppens is thta the build goes fine, but the " Generating temporary packing list" step, ahngs forever! I left it runing over night the first time, just to be certain. So where do I go from here? Oh, I guess you were correct all along, it is a font problem of some sort.
