Look at graphics/gview port: gView is a modern image viewer for X Window System. It is based on GTK and Imlib and supports most common image formats, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, PPM, XPM, PNG and whatever other image formats your Imlib is configured to support. Doesn't sound like Vim to me. This would seem to be a problem, if two ports are fighting over the same file. I'm not sure what should be done in that case. :-( All I can think is delete /usr/local/bin/gview manually, then pkg_add gview. Perhaps the gview port doesn't want to overwrite another port's file (gview is a symlink in Vim, maybe that has something to do with it too). Jerry, does that work? -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
