I don't think your problem has anything to do with the base OS. I think this is only related to the ports tree. > I did not read /usr/ports/UPDATING entry from that day, or maybe it > was there but too many things worked apparently except KDE and/or > GNOME :( well, the png upgrade was painful for all. But all you need is to rebuild all png-dependent ports. In your example of gnome-session you can try to find which port installed it and rebuild that port. Something like # which gnome-session or # find /usr -name "gnome-session" should give you the full path to the executable. Then you can try # pkg_info -W this should give you the port name. Try to rebuild it. If all goes well you are likely to be stopped at another png-dependent port needing rebuilding. So you just repeat this process for all such ports. But as I said, if you have lots of png dependent ports it might be easier to delete all ports and install them from scratch. I don't use gnome or kde myself, so can't advise here. anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
