it *is* possible to get the ports to work, it just takes a LOT of
jury-rigging with libraries etc. you can blame this on the gnome
developers who think that GNU/linux is the only operating system in
existance
(remind you of someone else? *cough*micro$oft*cough*) once they figure
THAT out it shouldnt be such a big pain in the ass to get gnome working

with that said.. to get the ports to compile for me i had to reinstall
gtk+1.1.2 (after getting rid of ALL previous gtk+ installations) and
glib-1.1.3 as well. then i did a make install on the gnomecore port (dont
install gnomelibs first, let the gnomecore port take care of that.)
everytime i installed gnomelibs first gnomecore wouldnt work.

hope that answers some of your questions at least...
