Hi all: I installed 3.4-R only yesterday. I made a minimal installation and then compiled a whole bunch of programs from ports. Today it seems that there's something wrong with dependencies. Whenever I try to install a new port, it checks for a package that it depends on, and then mistakenly thinks that that package is not installed. 8-/ Right now I'm recompiling XFree (how much do I regret typing that "make clean" yesterday!!!) because netscape would not install, reporting a missing XR11.6 library. Now I wanted to compile sane. Sure enough... missing gtk-1.2.6... missing glib12.3. ,----[ Snippet from install output ] | ===> Extracting for sane-1.0.1 | >> Checksum OK for sane-1.0.1.tar.gz. | ===> sane-1.0.1 depends on executable: gmake - found | ===> sane-1.0.1 depends on shared library: gtk12.2 - not found | ===> Verifying install for gtk12.2 in /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk12 | ===> Extracting for gtk-1.2.6 | >> Checksum OK for gtk+-1.2.6.tar.gz. | ===> gtk-1.2.6 depends on executable: libtool - found | ===> gtk-1.2.6 depends on shared library: glib12.3 - not found | ===> Verifying install for glib12.3 in /usr/ports/devel/glib12 | ===> Installing for glib-1.2.6 | ===> glib-1.2.6 is already installed - perhaps an older version? | If so, you may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install | this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. | If you really wish to overwrite the old port of glib-1.2.6 | without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" | in your environment or the "make install" command line. `---- While all of those packages already are installed: ,----[ /usr/sbin/pkg_info | egrep 'gtk|glib' ] | glib-1.2.6 Some useful routines of C programming | gtk---1.0.3 C++ wrapper for gtk, a x11 graphics library | gtk-1.2.6 General Toolkit for X11 GUI `---- What am I to do?
