I have discovered the underlying cause (I'm fairly certain) of my inoperan;e Galeon/Mozilla binaries. It turns out that something called fc-cache is apparently getting into a infinite loop. The bad news is that I can't find any man page, or other documentation on what this program does, and how to use it. I'm looking for something like a -v option, so I can try to diagnose where it's looping. It's provide any the fontconfig port, which is a dependency for both Mozilla, and Galeon, among others, so I can't just delete this port. Pointers to docs appreciated. -- "They that would give up essential liberty for temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
