I'm running XFree86 4.4, which I installed from binaries on the XFree86 site. This is working fine for me, except that I often have to skip portinstall and use "make install" from the relevant directory, because of all the dependencies on 4.3 versions of things. (Using -O to force never seems to work; it'll build but then hang on the "Uninstalling the old version" stage.) Needless to say, running the gnome_upgrade.sh script fails all over the place on these dependency issues. And I see the strong warning against upgrading in other manners. Is there any way I can upgrade to GNOME 2.6, or do I have to wait until XFree86 4.4 makes it into Ports, whenever that is? Thanks again. Jesse Sheidlower
