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]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 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.
