This is a followup to my previous post. I just tried it again, and again the instructions for installing Gnome 2.6 via packages installs Gnome 2.4 NOT gnome 2.6. I did a fresh install of FreeBSD5.2.1 pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui configured the supfiles and then cvsup -g -L 2 supsrc then supports after getting everything fresh and up to date i configured make.conf and then make -j4 buildworld make buildkernel make installkernel reboot etc etc per directions on freebsd handbook everything works perfectly and i now have an up-to-date 5.2.1 install then after final reboot i build pkg_install from sysutils/pkg_install make install clean works perfectly no errors set PACKAGESITE="http://www.marcuscom.com/tb/packages/5.2.1-FreeBSD/Latest/" pkg_add -r gnome2 and i get gnome2.4 not gnome2.6 as the web page says ftp ftp.freebsd.org anonymous roberthish@hotmail.com cd pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.2.1-release/All ls gnome2* shows Gnome2-2.4.0 ? what am i not getting here? "There are two ways to install GNOME 2.6 on FreeBSD. One way is to use packages" "To install GNOME 2.6 from packages, use the command: # pkg_add -r gnome2 This will download the latest GNOME 2.6 packages from the FreeBSD FTP site, and proceed to install them on your system." This is what freebsd.org/gnome has said since a few days after 2.6 was released, yet never have i been able to install gnome2.6 from packages using ftp.freebsd.org _________________________________________________________________ Get tips for maintaining your PC, notebook accessories and reviews in Technology 101. http://special.msn.com/tech/technology101.armx
