I don't believe you. "make clean" does a "make clean" in all of the ports that xpdf depends on, but "make clean" doesn't deinstall anything. wopr:/a/ports/graphics/xpdf$ make clean ===> Cleaning for xpm-3.4k ===> Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.5 ===> Cleaning for XFree86-3.3.5 ===> Cleaning for xpdf-0.80 Gee, X11 is just where it was before. If you're going to write such a venemous message accusing us of ruining your installation and likening us to Microsoft, you'd better be ready to present some evidence. -- Matthew Hunt * Stay close to the Vorlon. http://www.pobox.com/~mph/ * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
