I know where it comes from, I forget the fix (which I chased down for myself). I'm not the maintainer for apsfilter (I don't understand how come you picked me) but this is a problem caused by the "-lXExExt" that shows up in the linking line, because the line should have read -lXext. It was a bug with an older copy of XFree86's config files. I'd have to have a login on your machine and a hour to root around in your X11R6/lib/X11/config files ... or maybe you could tar those up and send them to me. Actually, what you OUGHT to do is to upgrade your X11R6 to something more current ... I don't think this bug has been current for about 18 months, so you have to be running a real old copy. Upgrade it. Really. You'll just get hit with some other bug if you don't. The libgnumalloc is likewise a bug in the same place, but much more easily located/fixed, but again, the real fix is upgrading. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
