While attempting to build the ethereal port I discovered that my system was (for lack of a better term)confused about my gtk and/or glib installation. I kept getting errors during the configure about the gtk version reported by gtk-config didn't match the version in the library headers (or something like that). Basically what I found was that the gtk-1.2.8 port installs with a prefix of /usr/X11R6, but there were gtk-1.2.7 files left over in /usr/local. This stopped the ethereal port from even getting thru the configure, but didn't break the install of the evolution port. In order to get ethereal to build I took the following steps(I may miss some and they might not all be required, but you'll get the idea): ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/gtk12-config /usr/X11R6/bin/gtk-config mv /usr/local/bin/gtk-config /usr/local/bin/gtk-config.old mv /usr/local/include/gtk /usr/local/include/gtk.old mv /usr/local/bin/glib-config /usr/local/bin/glib-config.old ln -s /usr/local/bin/glib12-config /usr/local/bin/glib-config After I did these things and got ethereal running I recalled the trouble I was having with evolution so I rebuilt the port(again, unnecessary?) and EUREKA!, evolution started up and didn't hang at the splash screen like before. I was getting a lot of errors and even though evolution started it's obviously not working correctly, but this is probably because I had built so many of its' dependencies without having corrected the wierdness I discussed above. Over the next few days I'll rebuild everything and see if that helps. Can anyone explain how/why this gtk mess happened? (Was it something I did or what?) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Daniel Frazier <dfrazier@magpage.com> Tel: 302-239-5900 Ext. 231 System Administrator Fax: 302-239-3909 MAGPAGE, We Power the Internet WWW: http://www.magpage.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
