You could rename KDE's libmpeg to libkmpeg or >libkdempeg. Just a thought. That seems like a reasonable solution. How hard to do, I don't know, because other kde ports may link against it. It might be simple, and and it might affect several other ports ( forbid it hits all the i18n ports, for a pathological example). OTOH, it is used by nothing but gimp1 and gimp-devel, so we could force them to link it statically (which is the *right* lib). Not really much of a solution, though, is it? -- AlanE To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
