The answer, short form: Sacrifice Linuxism-infested w33n0rs to the Great God Knuth. Ha! Only kidding. [*] The answer, longer form: Gaim requires perl 5.8 or higher just to be installed - its 'l33t++ custom configurator thingy requires it. The 5.005 that comes with FreeBSD 4.8 is not sufficient. So: - cvsupit your ports - install Perl 5.8.1 (we installed from the package, it works fine) - make install Gaim - make deinstall/make install libatk and libgtk along the way (we did actually have the right versions installed - it just didn't *think* we did) - force install on Gaim (it won't actually let you remove the old version) - put in a symlink from libatk-1.0.so.400 to libatk-1.0.so.200, because the install process trashes the latter. The answer, as just ranted in my LiveJournal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/reddragdiva/106318.html - d. [*] I would need to catch them first.
