The problem was that for some reason the expat2 port was unable to create and install shared libraries due to something that was getting picked up in the configure run. As noted in my note about the workaround, running the build without using the ports system infrastructure allowed the shlibs to be created and install and then -- and only then -- could the dependent ports find the expat.5 library and complete their upgrades. -- Paul Beard <www.paulbeard.org/> paulbeard [at] mac.com --Apple-Mail-25--535507584--
