Erlang- runtime-* are older or newer releases to allow compatibility for various applications just like we have multiple php and llvm versions in ports. WX is GUI bindings to wxwidgets obviously it pulls in X and gtk as well which isn=E2=80=99t necessaryfor servers. By way of example, erlang has a n= ice GUI tool called observer that needs these bindings. All of them support make options if you want to build with wx or dtrace etc so you can have whatever you want. Most of the erlang-dependent ports require a minimum of the base erlang port but can be built against newer releases. A+ Dave
