I'm hoping, hoping, hoping ... Remember this hoary old thing? I really hate to debug big, interwoven shell scripts like this one obviously was, but I did finally track it down, by adding about 10^^9 diagnostic "echo" statements. It was my (very early in the install) setting of X11R6 paths for the ld_library_paths in rc.conf, and as soon as I made sure those paths were out of there, my weird listings went with them. Yes, I know I could have spenmt another 9 months and gotten it down to the specific library. As soon as I can figure out a way to reliably get FreeBSD to stick the X stuff back in X11R6 like it used to do, I will go back and fix it all. Right now, if you try it, there are a ton of little land mines scattered throughout ports, to blow you up, so I can't have it my way anymore, and I might as well give up and play the way you folks have allowed things to drift. I just really, really do wish you never ever let LOCALBASE go, the way that most Linux distros have done. I really dislike that, mixing local things with the system stuff. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH1DQdz62J6PPcoOkRAvCSAJ9j6bOyqIeyWKFgkaISBaNGJrcQuQCcCEF/ se/C34v/6M7bBguD4dJJuzU= =SWvS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
