Both xpm and ttf require X (imake for xpm, and the > X libraries for ttf) Wouldn't it be possible to create another port that consists of precompiled X libraries - just for the specific use by ports such as Xpm, etc.? I can see a few problems with using this method, but if you have XFree86 installed, it should find the appropriate libraries (i.e. libX11.so.*) and skip installing the library port. Another idea would be to have a variable such as "USE_X11" in make.conf that dictates whether to use the XFree86 port or the x11lib (maybe?) port for installing libraries. -- Will Andrews GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
