Well it appears the ports that depend on libgda3 are math/gnumeric editors/gnome2-office and databases/libgnomedb gnumeric will not build with libgda2. gnome2-office will not build without gnumeric. So it would appear to me that I am caught in a crossfire in a war between (or possibly among) port maintainers. I cannot believe I have spent a week on this and it cannot be completed because of a petty little ego conflict. I should have know this would happen when the religious right faction managed to oust Beastie. -- Lars Eighner eighner@io.com lars@larseighner.com http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266
