But there was no problem. Anyway, I have a question: Why are there two ports here that do the same thing? Some of my ports specify fam, some specify gamin, and of course I have to have the WITH_FAM_SYSTEM var in make.conf to remove conflicts. If the two DON'T do the same thing, what is the difference? Just asking. -- B Briggs
