These files are site * specific configuration files, but they should not be edited. They are * used by the configure scripts of the ports which depend on them, to find * libs and correct flags. They are like (and used by) the *-config files. * * However, they are not executables, so the choice is etc/ or share/gnome. * Since some of the ports install into ${LOCALBASE} before there is a * /share/gnome (ORBit, libghttp, libxml) the only real choice is etc/. Why can't they mkdir ${LOCALBASE}/share/gnome themselves? :) -PW To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
