I just this minute finished compiling Firefox and didn't get this problem :-) I do have a libIDL-config and libIDL-config-2 (not libidl-config as you typed) but I believe it is obsolete and does NOT appear to be what Firefox used. (The libIDL defs I could find refer to libIDL-2). What do you get for locate libIDL-config-2 assuming you keep a locate database? I get /usr/local/bin/libIDL-config-2 which is a standard location. If yours is somewhere else then you'll either have to a) provide a symlink or b) reinstall libIDL to a standard location c) convince Firefox to look wherever you installed it. Not sure how since it's not a config option to the port Makefile (just to the Firefox configure process, which it's messy to hack). If it's not somewhere else, then something else hinky is going on and reinstalling libIDL may be the best bet. (You're a bit out of date anyway as mine is up to libIDL-0.8.5_1). --Alex
