Previous one has been done on Dec. 26th. I'll describe better you what I was seeing: first I noticed that most flash objects were not working, and that when it was happening a crash in Xorg caused somehow by gdk-pixbuf2 were trapped. Then I tried to rebuild graphics/gdk-pixbuf2 but the build was failing and as far as I can remember it was somehow related to endian.h. A required port, devel/gmake was failing too. Then I tried to run portsnap and update the (few) outdated ports and there was an error rebuilding java/openjdk6. No all the problem are gone away. Summarizing it was similar, except that I'm on i386, to the one reported in the same discussion reported before, exactly here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2010-December/022021.html So, from what I can understand, I think that what you are suggesting is not needed for me. Do you think I am correct? What kind of problem should the setting for loader fix? In any case, thanks!
