Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-BeenThere: freebsd-ports@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: Porting software to FreeBSD List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Sun, 17 Feb 2013 17:09:05 -0000 Hello, Every once in a while, I have trouble installing a port and the problem is either a missing library, an obsolete library, or some kind of problem seemingly associated with a library. Is there a simple, direct, complete, and unequivocal way to find out which port(s) install which libraries? When I do have one of these problems I search for info on the problem and most often get some information, often peripheral to my problem but which at least helps me... TIA Bernard Higonnet
