In a couple of cases where I had issues like this with gnome installation (and the XML-Parser thing sounds awfully familiar), I think I found that it was most efficient to do something like: portupgrade [args] perl perl-after-upgrade portupgrade <everything but gnome, esp. xorg stuff> Then the gnome install would run just swell. This was several months ago, so my memory could be a bit fuzzy on this. I think the gnome FAQ indicates one should just "portupgrade -a" first, but of course that doesn't always work out well since -a includes gnome if already installed. Success with gnome very much depends on other things being up to date though. Modify to suit your port management habits. Note that my recipe will have you using perl5.8 during the gnome upgrade. The tip on using 5.6.2 instead might be another way around, but I'm pretty sure the root of the problems I had were actually with imake and maybe other X stuff not being in the state required, even though the evident choke symptom is on a perl module. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) <gregb at scls.lib.wi.us>, (608) 266-6348
