Some Qt stuff is failing; but I think that does not depend on, nor is
it depended on by, Seamonkey nor Grip. At this point, I'm not even
sure *what* pulled in Qt. I did not install KDE.

pkg_libchk -rRv returns Don King's Hair:

firefox-3.5.9,1: located:
/usr/local/lib/firefox3/components/libbrowsercomps.so misses
*
<snip thirty or so lines of output; all centered on /usr/local/lib/firefox3)
*
firefox-3.5.9,1: located: /usr/local/lib/firefox3/sdk/lib/libxul.so
libtelepathy-0.3.3_1: /usr/local/lib/libtelepathy.so.2 misses
libtelepathy-glib.so.0

Can I assume that, for firefox3, make deinstall followed by make
reinstall is indicated? OTOH, xfce (I think) pulled in firefox3 as
some sort of dependency. I'm ambivalent about xfce at this point; so
perhaps a simple make deinstall for firefox will work? Or is it more
likely to be a deinstall of xfce, followed by a forced rebuild of
everything else?

OTOH: pkg_libchk -vRr \*firefox\* looks identical to the output above;
while pkg_libchk -vRr \*seamonkey\* returns no errors. So I'm not sure
if rebuilding or deinstalling Firefox3 or xfce is indicated for the
Seamonkey issue. Thoughts?

Grip is also tossing a segmentation fault and dumping core; but
pkg_libchk -vRr \*grip\* also returns no errors.

I *think* that pkg_libchk may be pointing away from X and toward some
other issue.

Thanks for your help, and best regards,

Joe
