Install from packages, or install from the ports tree. Don't mix the two. The ports tree is updated more frequently than the package repository, so mis-matched dependencies are a possibility when slightly older packages from the repository are installed alongside more recent ones from the ports tree. That may not be the source of your problem, but you can at least eliminate a variable or two by staying consistent with where you get your software. -- :: Brandon J.
