The closest I can find to any details on this is your posting of
17 May 2007 12:05:07 -0700 where you post an extract of gtk20
failing to configure.  Did you follow the instructions that you
copied into that posting?

last thing i tried was:

#pkg_deinstall -f pango
#cd /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/pango
#make install clean
#pkgdb -F; shutdown -h now

[went to  bed]

i have a note to

#portsnap fetch update

i am thinking of shutting out my _sole_ terminal running pine
right now and following that instruction after i ctl-D my mailserver
login back to my machine.

i remember trying to follow the instructions in an error message
having to do with "deinstall (ferget)" and "reinstall (whateveritwas)"

now i am reading posts about doing repettive portupgrade -a  ..

i am sorry for having a "low comfort level."  i want to improve.
its hard for me right now only having the ability to have one unix
command line window open and no printer. if my X was up it would be
easier.

gtk20 is causing me fits, but that's just the symptom. The cause is that the pkg database(s) are fubared and the ruby utils are doing a bad job at guessing where x11-toolkit/gtk20 is (even though the location hasn't changed >_>).
