Hi Craig, > So @wantlib are in base sets then?
Well, no. Look again at the output you posted: # pkg_info -f gd-2.0.33p2.tgz | egrep "(depend|wantlib)" @depend converters/libiconv:libiconv-*:libiconv-1.9.2p3 @depend graphics/jpeg:jpeg-*:jpeg-6bp3 @depend graphics/png:png-*:png-1.2.8 @wantlib c.39.0 @wantlib fontconfig.3.0 @wantlib freetype.13.1 @wantlib iconv.4.0 @wantlib jpeg.62.0 @wantlib m.2.1 @wantlib png.4.2 @wantlib z.4.1 The @depends tell you: We need those packages installed before installing gd (whatever may be inside - ok, hopefully the package maintainer _did_ think about the question what is inside, but we need not learn that right now). The @wantlibs tell you: We need those shared libs installed in order to use gd (wherever they may come from - in case they are missing, we _do_ need to investigate ourselves how to get hold of them). In fact, libc is from base (luckily :). But libfreetype is from xbase (gotcha). And libpng is from the package graphics/png (surprise, eh?). Enjoy, Ingo
