I am the new maintainer of gd. I plan to make it so gd can be built with and without X. I plan to make the default to not require X. If ports need a "gd that absolutly has the X libs" then I will make another port that uses the existing gd port as its master and installs some different library or something. Requiring that web servers with php and gd (or perl and gd or whatever) have X installed is stupid. -- Bill Fumerola - Network Architect Computer Horizons Corp - CVM e-mail: billf@chc-chimes.com / billf@FreeBSD.org Office: 800-252-2421 x128 / Cell: 248-761-7272 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
