As part of the "freebsd-update" process I did run a few portupgrade commands. But I thought portupgrade only did whatever it does to installed ports. Or are you saying it upgraded the xcb port which allowed Cacti to build to completion? Also, off topic I know, but what is the proper way to reply to this? Reply? Reply to all? Or reply just to the mailing list? ________________________________________ From: Adam Vande More [amvandemore@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 2:03 PM To: mailinglist Cc: freebsd-stable@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Installing Cacti from Ports On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 12:31 PM, mailinglist <mailinglist@ucwv.edu<mailto:mailinglist@ucwv.edu>> wrote: I hada VM running an older installation of FreeBSD 7.2. I recently got back to it and tried to install Cacti from the ports collection. I cvsup'd in an up-to-date ports collection, and did the usual "make, make install" for Cacti. During the "make install" process a dependency failed to build. I believe it was xcb-utils that failed to build because XCB was at version 1.2 and needed to be at 1.4. I couldn't get the issue resolved no matter what I tried. I ended up giving up.....later on I went through the "freebsd-update" process and upgraded to a newer version of 7.2. After that Cacti and all dependencies built and installed successfully. Was XCB upgraded when I did the freebsd-update process? Or what? I'm just trying to find out what happened.....
