Subject:   I broke my Gnome

I had run portupgrade Sunday afternoon to update a few ports and it updated
a few others that then broke gnome.

I've been working since then to get Gnome back and I'm pretty well stuck.

I deleted every port/package that got mucked up (some had two versions, old
and new) and reinstalled but the make still chokes from within
/usr/ports/x11/gnome.

So I thought I'd be real clever, and print out the dependencies for gnome
and just deal with each one individually. Made some progress

Except now, what I have left chokes in two places.

I cannot make "gnomecore" It always hangs around libgtkxmhtml.so

/usr/X11R6/lib/libgtkxmhtml.so: warning: tmpnam() possibly used unsafely;
consider using mkstemp()
/usr/X11R6/lib/libgtkxmhtml.so: undefined reference to `no symbol'
gmake[3]: *** [gnome-help-browser] Error 1
gmake[3]: Leaving directory
`/usr/ports/x11/gnomecore/work/gnome-core-1.4.0.4/help-browser'
gmake[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory
`/usr/ports/x11/gnomecore/work/gnome-core-1.4.0.4/help-browser'

gmake[1]: Leaving directory
`/usr/ports/x11/gnomecore/work/gnome-core-1.4.0.4'
gmake: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

Since I cannot make gnomecore, I have 13 other ports I can't make either.

I also have what appears to be 3 programs requiring libGL.so? or at least
that's where the error appears to come from.

I guess the morale of the story is, if it ain't broke -- don't upgrade or
fix it!?

How on earth do I get Gnome back? Xwindows sucks without a desktop manager.

I was thinking I'd go ahead and delete every dependacy again and perhaps
whimp out and use /stand/sysinstall and get the premade packages... I've
noticed the packages aren't always as up to date as the ports are though.

Any suggestions?

gf.
