It says deinstalling for mplayer, but > afterwars I can still run it. if everything was originally installed via ports or packages and nothing moved, this is highly unusual. i suspect however, that one of the two did happen, that you've got an extra copy floating around somewhere on your machine, and that you will have to do a little homework to get to the bottom of this. try a few of these commands to gather some info: which mplayer mplayer -v locate mplayer find / -name mplayer -print find / -path \*mplayer\* -print | more now that you know what it is (version) and where it is, you can try to figure out more about what happened. how/when that version was installed (check dates and compare version number to port history), if it was moved to somewhere non-standard (compare with normal install directories), and what ever else tickles your fancy. finally, you now have to option to eliminate the port by simply removing it manually. hope this helps. cheers, epi > > thanks > /jobse > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
