> Fixed by current maintainer around 2005/03/20. Well, yes and no. The problem is that maintainer upgraded the vic port and the new version doesn't work on any of my 5.x installations because of some TCL-related problems with fonts. The following is excerpt from my discussion with the maintainer: > > after upgrade to 2.8.1.1.6 of the vic in FreeBSD ports, I'm getting > > the following crash on vic startup: > > This may have to do with your font settings.

But the old vic with my patch works just fine on the same configuration! So I'm not happy with that situation and suggest to return to the original version with either my patch or the patch mentioned from here: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=775830+0+archive/2005/freebsd-ports /20050320.freebsd-ports http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/75066 With best regards, Petr ================================================================ Petr Holub CESNET z.s.p.o.
