Kdevelop will build just fine but it produces a message. You have to have cvsuped ports-all after 0930 UTC to get the changes to kdevelop that will make it build. The changes were available from my cvsup mirror around 1020 UTC on 7 Feb 2003. Kdesdk had a problem with pod2man. It needed to use the pod2man from Perl 5.6.1 but use.perl port doesn't create the links in /usr/bin/pod2* > /usr/local/bin/pod2*. The changes to bypass building the man pages were available on your local cvsup-mirror after 1400 UTC. Kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html
