Hmm, maybe glib20/_glib20 is wrongly used in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.gnome.mk and/or the port Makefiles. e.g: accessibility/atk, devel/gobject- introspection and graphics/cairo list glib20 (instead of _glib20) in USE_GNOME. So you can't even install accessibility/atk without devel/gamin. :-( -- Herbert _______________________________________________ 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"
