My apologies. Installing from source was not a good idea. I now used the ports system and all is well. I should have read some documentation before I came here with my questions. The reason I used the source was the fact that I could not pkg_add the 2.1.7 version of Sylpheed, although it was listed at Freshports. I now added it using 'make install clean' in the ports-tree and although the process took over an hour (no kidding) the program now has all the stuff it depends on. Which leaves me with some other questions:
I often can't pkg_add a program that is listed on Freshports (and vise versa). Why is that? Sometimes two different versions of a program have exactly the same 'kg_add -r someprog' command. How is that possible? pkg_add is pretty fast, 'make install' is very slow. Does pkg_add get pre-compiled binaries? thanks again, -- - Jay _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
