I got it after adding chapterfolder, and updating mfpic - just 2 packages, one missing and another too old. I'm on ia64 mainly and sometimes on sparc64, and I understand the consequences of my choice. Anyway, I love the FreeBSD ports system and hate to see something lacking there. I'll talk to hrs@ and see how the above 2 packages can be included/updated. For me this is a better route compared to having a binary bypassing the ports and available on only 2 arches. Will update if this is successful. -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423 _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
