In terms of pre-compiled packages, (eg fvwm95, kde ) I have found that they seem to require XFree86-3.3.3.1 but when I do an ftp install of FBSD-3.0 it seems to BE XFree-3.3.2 that gets installed. So it seems to me that currently the Xapplications /window-managers in the packages collection and FBSD-3.0 distribution are not in sync ? I also find from the ports collection FBSD patches for X things do not seem to work Graeme Brown BT Labs, UK email: graeme.brown@bt-sys.bt.co.uk _______________________________________________________________________________ To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG From: Tomato Ketchup on Sat, Jan 23, 1999 9:09 pm Subject: Problem when installing X packages from FreeBsd 3.0 Walnut Cdrom RFC Header:Received: by maczebedee with ADMIN;23 Jan 1999 21:09:13 +0100 Received: from babelfish.axion.bt.co.uk by rambo with SMTP (PP); Sat, 23 Jan 1999 21:12:12 +0000 Received: from hub.freebsd.org by babelfish.axion.bt.co.uk with Internet with SMTP; Sat, 23 Jan 1999 21:07:41 +0000 Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA14695; Sat, 23 Jan 1999 12:57:42 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-newbies) Received: by hub.freebsd.org (bulk_mailer v1.6); Sat, 23 Jan 1999 12:57:13 -0800 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id MAA14396 for freebsd-newbies-outgoing; Sat, 23 Jan 1999 12:57:13 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG) Received: from send501.yahoomail.com (wen505.mail.yahoo.com [128.11.68.72] (may be forged)) by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id MAA14385 for ; Sat, 23 Jan 1999 12:57:11 -0800 (PST) (envelope-from cap_vert@yahoo.com) Message-ID: <19990123205722.28319.rocketmail@send501.yahoomail.com> Received: from [194.158.112.19] by web505.yahoomail.com; Sat, 23 Jan 1999 12:57:21 PST Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 12:57:21 -0800 (PST) From: Tomato Ketchup Subject: Problem when installing X packages from FreeBsd 3.0 Walnut Cdrom To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Cc: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hello! I have bought the FreeBsd 3.0 Walnut cdrom, and the following problem appears: When trying to install a window manager package included in the walnut cdrom package, the system says it can't find the xfree3.3.2 package on the cdrom which should also have to be installed. I didn't find the XFree3.3.2 package on the cdrom neither on the freebsd site. Does this package exist? Of course I have installed the XFree86 distribution set from the cdrom (including sources, fonts, etc...), configuring Xfree86 (mouse, video card etc..) and I can use Xinit with the default window manager quite well. But no way to install any Xpackage due to this message! I try then to install my window manager package with the '-f' option wich force package creation without looking at other package dependencies, but then when trying to start my Window client, the system says it can't find some specific Xlibrairies.... Have anyone already heard about this problem? what can I do if I want to install a window manager with the current freebsd3.0 walnut cd rom? (note: I had the 2.2.6 freebsd Walnut cdrom, and this problem never appears with this version). Thanks for your help!
