Hi, > how do i remove old libs that i am upgrading or just dont need anymore > (imlib for example)? is there something i should do to remove it or > should i just install the newer version over the old one? Ooh - installing over is not usually a good idea. If you used the port to install it you can do the following (as root): cd /var/db/pkg pkg_delete old_port_I_don't_want If you have CVSupped the latest ports you can then go to the ports tree to build the latest greatest version. Note that things like imlib that may have been installed w/ say Enlightenment may need a "pkg_delete -f old_port" as they are listed as dependencies.
