Hi all, I was rebuilding all my ports due to an error in my library. After a couple days, I think most of the ports were rebuilt, but some remain (skipped, error, etc). I then try to rebuild myself (by doing make deinstall; make reinstall). I started with mplayer. The compilation succeeded, but can't "make deinstall" my existed port: # make deinstall ===> Deinstalling for multimedia/mplayer ===> Deinstalling mplayer-0.99.11_8 pkg_delete: package 'mplayer-0.99.11_8' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled (but I'll delete it anyway): linux-mplayerplug-in-3.50_1 mencoder-0.99.11_2 mkxvcd-2.0.2_5 smplayer-0.6.4 Segmentation fault (core dumped) *** Error code 139 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer. it didn't give me too much to trouble shoot, any help from you guys is appreciated.
