The question has already been answered on 2012-08-02. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2012-August/243984.html You need to recompile the PNG library (from ports, does _not_ belong to the system - it's /usr/ports/graphics/png that will install libpng to your system) with the "Animated PNG support" (APNG) option [x] set. After doing so, you will be able to resume your Firefox build. See "man ports" or the manual of your port management tool (e. g. portmaster) on how to do that. Make sure you do "make clean" prior to that attempt. >From the error message which you _have not shown_ (so I'm just guessing) it seems that libpng has been installed without the animation support. If you can make sure it's properly installed and you still get the error, please _show_ the error here so a better diagnostics step can be done. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
