thx, i hadn't seen the reply to my earlier message. unfortunately, though i've got the png port installed w/ OPTIONS= APNG "Animated PNG support" On the install of freebsd fails w/ the error message given below. is there something else required in the png makefile or elsewhere that i'm missing? some writers have insisted that a recent install of the os is also needed, but that is also a non-issue for my boxes: they're up to date. installing firefox is not as urgent for me since chrome is adequate for most purposes, but still... thx for your reply. any further thoughts would be appreciated. david +++ Polytropon [23/08/12 01:17 +0200]: >On Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:01:50 -0400, david coder wrote: >> is there a system png that comes w/ 8.3 that is distinct from the ports png? >> if not, how explain that install of firefox-14.0.1 fails w/ the error message >> that the system png does not support APNG even though the makefile for the >> png port contains the line >> >> OPTIONS= APNG "Animated PNG support" On >> >> ? >> >> i am puzzled. > >The question has already been answered on 2012-08-02. > >http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-August/243984.html > >You need to recompile the PNG library (from ports, does _not_ >belong to the system - it's /usr/ports/graphics/png that will >install libpng to your system) with the "Animated PNG support" >(APNG) option [x] set.
