I'll first try to locate it but, what version (if any) should I have for librep? Also, in terms of recompiling librep, it the following procedure safe to perform:- cd /us/ports//librep make deinstall clean && make reinstall clean I take it if I find that I don't have librep (by chance), then I'll have to install it and reinstall Sawfish as well? Thanks for taking the time.
