I always install from ports. This whole problem arose when I tried to update the "gettext" port, following the directions in UPDATING. QUESTION: why does linintl.so.9 have to be linked to libintl.so.8? If they are identical, why two different names. That seems like a recipe for confusion. Actually, why any links since they are apparently all linintl.so.8.1.2, or am I missing something? I have a slightly different problem now, but I will start a new thread. Thanks for your help. -- Jerry _______________________________________________ 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"
