[-- Attachment #1 --] Hello. I am looking for advice on what I have done wrong. I installed FreeBSD v4.2 from scratch (using the developer distribution plus compat22 and compat3x) on two new boxes; used cvs to update all of the ports. I then installed XFree86-4 using the ports; then installed KDE2 (again the ports); and then KDevelop (you guessed it the ports). At this point everything was working great! I then installed KDBG 1.2 (from the ports) which installed KDELibs and KDEBase (from their respective ports directories). The install went fine, no errors. However, my KDE is now back to the 1.1.2 version (sort of) since only KDELibs and KDEBase were installed. Not everything works. My KDE 2.1 is where? Should I have installed KDBG first? Then KDE2.1? I notice that KDE 1.1.2 is gone from the port listing on the web. But KDBG is still around. Given the bulid time required for XFree86 and KDE 2.1 I would rather not rebuild all over; however, if that is what will solve this problem then I will. Any advice? Thanks in advance! David.
