There are not -STABLE packages. If you are going stable, you should use the ports instead. (Alternatively, you may set the release name to 4.3-RELEASE. This may break some packages.) > Second, I can install packages with a pkg_add -r command, i have install > imlib and various other library type packages like gnomelibs.

The -r option forces pkg_add to detect the appropriate package name automatically. see pkg_add (1). > Third, I am trying to install some programs from ports (xmms, gnome, > gnomecore), they all do quite well until they call for gnomecontrolcenter > where they start compiling and then crap out due to some issue with > imlib. Perhaps I should have installed imlib though ports and not pkg_add > -r ? pkg_add -r installs the package built for RELEASE. You are no longer running release, but stable. It is possible your gnomecontrolcenter is outdated. Remove the package, then recompile. > I'm not really certain what is happening here.
