Or the other way around depending on installation order. Both ports lay claim to /usr/local/lib/libmpeg.so. Now, this wouldn't be so bad except they aren't the *same* libmpeg.so. Gimp requires the libmpeg.so from mpeg-lib. So, the side effect of this is that Gimp can't build a plugin it wants to, and the packaging of Gimp then fails due to missing files. I'm not sure yet what a good solution is, but clearly it'll have to involve changing kdemultimedia3, as mpeg-lib can easily claim seniority. I wonder if we can move kdemultimedia's libmpeg.so to /usr/local/lib/kde3, and have things still work... I'd like to ignore this and say 'who cares' as much as anyone who doesn't really use Gnome for anything, but Gimp is an important (prominent and widely used) application and we have inadvertantly broken it. There may be other apps which also use mpeg-lib; I haven't grepped for it, yet. Comments, suggestions, whatever you got, please. -- AlanE To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
