--Apple-Mail-29--762319039 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed [ please cc me as I am not on the list] I have been trying to upgrade cups to 1.1.20 and have been running into some problems with libraries not being found (specifically jpeg.9 and tiff.4). After a few different iterations of pkg_add, portupgrade, portinstall, and accompanying pkg_delete, pkg_deinstall, make install, etc., I finally tried symlinking the .so files to the numbered versions that don't seem to exist and all seems to be well. ln -s /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.a /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so.9 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libtiff.a /usr/local/lib/libtiff.so.4 pkgdb doesn't seem to have any problems (I have run it enough times today), cvsup has done its magic a couple of times. I thought portinstall/upgrade -rR would fix any out-of-date ports and make everything happy? What am I doing wrong to make this libraries not get installed? -- Paul Beard <www.paulbeard.org/> paulbeard [at] mac.com --Apple-Mail-29--762319039--
