Hi, I did what you suggested and used CVSup to sync up with the entire ports collection. I am on a clean install of FreeBSD 6. I went into the usr/ports/www/firefox directory and started the make. It was going fine until it checked the dependency on glib20. I did a "make deinstall" on it and a "make reinstall" and that seemed to help. Firefox build continued until I got to atk. I then did a "make deinstall" and a "make reinstall" on it and now the firefox build complains because the version of atk I built was 1.9 and firefox is looking for 1.0.0. What should I do to get it to build now? I don't have atk 1.0.0. Also, on the ports web page (http://www.freebsd.org/ports), I see this statement, 'Each ``port'' listed here contains any patches necessary to make the original application source code compile and run on FreeBSD. Installing an application is as simple as downloading the port, unpacking it and typing make in the port directory.' It seems a lot of ports don't follow this philosophy. Thanks for any help you can provide, John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
