I run cvsup regularly, but not every day. Trying it now I get: Rejected by server: Access limit exceeded; try again later I don't have the "portupgrade" command. There are so many ways in which it can fail... :-( Anyway, I noticed there actually is a dependency on pkg-config to check that it exists, but it doesn't check its version. I installed a new pkg-config manually and building the port continued. I finally ran into a problem that can't be fixed, I suppose: Xft complains that it requires XFree 4.2, and I'm running 3.x. Bummer! GTK 2.2 could have mentioned that XFree 4.2 is required right away... Or is there a way to build GTK 2.2 while using XFree 3.x? Since upgrading XFree isn't that simple, this will probably have to wait until I see a chance to upgrade my OS. - Bram -- How To Keep A Healthy Level Of Insanity: 3.
