I did that, but my Gnome was from binary and I have been unable to find the old png lib and had to forcebly softlink to the png lib, which although works good enough to start Gnome, it's kind-a unstable (icons are broken, Nautilus chokes many times trying to draw the icon files, etc. etc.). So all I want to do is re-install Gnome from binary in the hopes it will install with it, the corresponding png/jpg libs. I am also a bit scared that the binary package will overwrite my newer libs which were updated from ports, with portmaster in fact. > Regards, > > -- > Glen Barber >
