Do not remove old (5.4) libraries. All 5.4 libs wil still be found. 2. Remove old libraries and install ports/misc/compat5x. All 5.4 lib wil still be found. 3. Remove old libraries and use /etc/libmap.conf to map the old libs on the new ones. 4. Recompile every port, so all dependencies are the 6.0 libs. Ronald. -- Ronald Klop Amsterdam, The Netherlands
