Anything that uses GTK or GNOME needs an X server, by definition. So, any port description that includes "GTK" or "GNOME" implies that the port needs to be run with an X interface, and will not be usable from the commandline. And, for the record, if you see any screenshot that includes graphics of any sort, it will require an X server on FreeBSD. # Adam -- Adam Weinberger adamw@magnesium.net || adamw@FreeBSD.org adamw@vectors.cx || adamw@gnome.org http://www.vectors.cx
