Yes I did that. Twice. I am now doing it a third time. In the meantime I deinstalled py-cairo and make installed it and it thinks its name is not py26-cairo but x11-toolkits/py-gtk2 won't build because it thinks it need py25-cairo which in turn needs python26. But the pkg db doesn't have any py25-cairo because it has py26-cairo which was built with python26. It is really hard to tell whether python is more screwy than qt. I'd say i= t is pretty much a tie. --=20 Lars Eighner http://www.larseighner.com/index.html 8800 N IH35 APT 1191 AUSTIN TX 78753-5266 --0-786720898-1249550741=:96001--
