Sorry, I was meaning USE_GNOME=ltverhack not gnomehack ... for example in www/neon we use it to change libneon.so.29 to libneon.so.27 I haven't tested what is the result with a library that comes with so.x.x but maybe ltverhack works also there. -- regards, olli _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
