Which version? What are the versions of the dependency ports? When were they installed? etc.. etc.. This looks very much like a local configuration issue. All of the GNOME ports have been built successfully on a regular basis by multiple people (and Satoshi's package-builder) -- whilst GNOME isn't exactly the most bug-free piece of software around, it certainly compiles. As I mentioned in the original mail, the interdependencies of the various ports that make up GNOME are relatively complex -- I'd hazard a guess to say that it's probably the most complex set we have under /usr/ports. The bsd.port.mk dependency mechanisms could probably do with an extension such that we can explicitly request particular versions of dependent ports (eg: needing libtool-1.3.3 or higher etc..) to make life a little simpler for the build-everything-from-source people. In this case, however, I would suggest either using the pre-built packages, or doing a complete reinstall of 3.3-RELEASE, cvsup up to 3.3-STABLE, cvsup a clean new set of ports, and rebuild things from scratch. (I know that's horribly Microsoft-ish of me, but it's probably going to be the easiest way to resolve things). -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
