hi Kris,
I repeated my tests with a new machine. I did a
portinstall -pP php5-gd
and , as it should, it installed xorg-libraries without any issue at all.
the only difference is that this time
1) there have been a few port updates to the tree
2) I had already pre-built all the packages needed ( /usr/ports is mounted over
nfs to the machine that has the packages)
Maybe one of this made a difference. Anyway, all as it should be :)
thanks again for your help and time , now and every other time :)
B
