It certainly did make a difference. After removing those files, I found out this: for some reason I don't know, both perl and gmake wanted older versions of libraries (the files that I had removed). So I did a 'portupgrade -f gmake' and 'portupgrade -f perl',and that seems to have fixed things. I have installed the icu port without problems, and portupgraded gmake and a whole lot of other ports, without a panic. Currently portupgrading the xfce4* ports. If all goes well, there will be another message from me in a day or two (or three, depending on how long time it takes). -- Torfinnhome | help
