Its always wonderful to be able to ask questions of someone who actually knows the answers! I just upgraded to FreeBSD 5.4-release (actually, I re-installed it from scratch). While trying to install gnotepad+-1.3.3_1 from a package (pkg_add -r gnotepad+), it seems to go through the steps ok, but when it comes to registering (last step) it seems to be occurring very fast. When I try to launch gnotepad+ in Gnome 2.10, I get a message stating the application is not found. If I do a pkg_info -x gnotepad, it gives me information about the application (as expected). If I do a pkg_delete, it seems to execute correctly. Thinking this may be a problem with the libraries installed with FreeBSD-5.4, I re-installed FreeBSD-5.4 from scratch (I really hadn't done anything else), and tried building it after a CVSup. That is, I first did a CVSup ports-all against freebsd9.us, and then changed to the gnotepad+ directory. I then did a 'make', and it seemed to execute correctly (lots and lots of text, no obvious errors or fails). I then did a 'make install', and again lots of text, no errors or fails. When I tried to launch gnotepad+ in Gnome 2.10, again I get an error that the package is not installed. Interestingly, I don't see a file or directory in the X11R6 folder or its children referring to gnotepad+, which I was expecting. My guess is this problem is a result of changing from xfree86 to Xorg for the default window manager in FreeBSD (I think that occurred with 5.3-release). Do you have any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong, or what I can do to get this working? Your help continues to be sincerely appreciated. Thanks. Harold
