Hello. Today I installed 5.2.1 onto a desktop box, i810 chipset with Celerons 600MHz. And I installed 3 times with miniinstall CDROM but I never get rid of these problems: <1> (almost) nothing compiles successful. Many applications in the port ends with a compile error like this one: ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_SetElementHandler' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_SetDoctypeDeclHandle r' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_ParserFree' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_SetCharacterDataHand ler' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_ErrorString' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_ParseBuffer' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_ParserCreate' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_SetUserData' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_GetErrorCode' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_GetBuffer' ../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so: undefined reference to `XML_GetCurrentLineNumber These failed application include kde, gnome, lynx and several others. First I thought I must lack of some XML library, expat is all what I can think about, and it's already installed. <2>pkg_add keep telling me "tar: cannot create symbolic link" or "tar: xxxfile: cannot stat: No such file or directory". This message shows up in almost every pkg_add <3>installed application not runnable. each display different strange error message. sometimes they complain lack of particiliar library (and fix by manual make symbolic link), but some error are too strange and need several pages to describe. I tried to install from FTP server rather than disco, or to choose different install type. I am pretty upset. Because I have been using FreeBSD for 3 years and never met such problems, begin to think this is a not-well-tested release. Now I'm already familiar with typing "make" and wait for error messages. Any idea? Should I move to 5.2? _________________________________________________________________ Ãâ·ÑÏÂÔØ MSN Explorer: http://explorer.msn.com/lccn
