hello greg, thanks for your response. <snip> > In a couple of cases where I had issues like this with gnome > installation (and the XML-Parser thing sounds awfully > familiar), I think I found that it was most efficient to do the gnome faq, as well as the information that the gnomelogalyzer puts out, seems to suggest portupgrading -a as a front line of defence. sadly, this approach seems to conflict with the /usr/ports/UPDATING, esp. wrt KDE, at least as far as i understand it. YMMV, & YMNEGTCS... (you may not even get the car started.) etc., etc. > gnome very much depends on other things being up to date > though. Modify to suit your port management habits. well, yes. in a moment of hubris, i went ahead and portupgraded the cups-base port, thinking that a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, i was also looking to get a second-hand laserprinter working with cups....

The tip on using 5.6.2 instead might be another i seem to recall a perl something or other flashing by on one of those root terminal screens. how does one preserve the information on those screensful? it's clunking away on something to do with koffice at the moment. -- = df(dave)armour<at>myrealbox<dought>calm! =
