Hi, After I purchased a brandnew harddisk, I decided to also try out 5-current as the new OS on this disk. Installing system went all fine and smooth (5.2.1 install, then cvsupped to current), and compiled/installed new world and kernel. However, since I am now installing many apps from the ports, I encounter problem after problem, ports installs ending with errors; such as configure runs that fail (e.g. libexif), ld complaining about libXpm.so.4 related things (teTeX/LyX). So far I failed to install gimp and teTeX, which would make that PC rather useless to me. Time to step back to 4.X? Are the ports not ready with 5-Current kernel? Or am I doing something wrong? Thanks, Rob.
