Please let me know if I've sent my earlier post (below) to the wrong lists. I'm
hoping to get an idea as to how to proceed with this without having to re-build
the box from scratch.
So, if I'm barking up the wrong tree here, could someone kindly let me know?
I'll then try looking for help elsewhere.
Hello,
I have a few questions concerning the above task:-
1] From the *one* reply I've had to my earlier post concerning the gnome2
install failure, it appear that I have to re-install XFree86-4.2.0. Why is that
after running pkg_delete on XFree86-4.0.2, "make" doesn't go out and get a
fresh set of files for the re-install?
Am I missing something about the make process here? Presumably there was
something wrong with the XFree86-4 sources I got yesterday when I installed it,
so I would have thought it logical that I should be obtaining a fresh set of
source files for the new install.
2] To do the install of XFree86-4 anyways, what I did was pkg_delete of XFree86-
3 in /var/db/pkg; rm -rf /usr/X11R6/*, then editing /etc/make.conf to reflect
that the XFree version is now 4
Is there something that I missed here? I ask in case it's the reason
that /usr/ports/graphics/gle repeatedly flaking out on the gnome2 install.
Replies from *anyone* is appreciated.
Regards,
Stacey
