Every other "ports" I installed I installed as root, and all users could run them. I removed/deleted sylpheed (pkg_delete) and then tried to install as a normal user, and the installation failed. The sylpheed executable has 555 permissions. I thought most installations of ports were done as root, with the understanding that all users would have access to the ports. Is there something else I need to do? Thanks, Doug Steven Lake wrote: > > Simple answer.
