Is this a problem with the port of > Sylpheed? Probably. That library is in x11-toolkits/gtk-engines. It's also possible that the port that installs that library was installed, then pkg_deleted without the port being cleaned. So do a "make install" for that port. If nothing happens, then you've got that later situation, so you can do "make reinstall" to install it. If the install installs it, notify the port maintainer of the problem. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.
