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.
