If you really want to fix this, you might start by giving us consistent information. Reading between the lines, in one message you tell us you informed the system `normally' and packages on top of that. But you're obviously lying, since you tell us you grabbed the X libraries manually. I don't know what you did to get pkg_add to not complain about missing libraries. Frankly, I don't care too much. I have more interesting things to do than trying to figure out stuff from half-formed bug-reports. There are about two ways you can do stuff: - use the tools of the system, install it as it's meant to be used. You need gd and it says it needs the X libraries ? then install the X libraries. - you want to be smart and do it yourself, and get rid of the X libraries dependency ? then be smart, and do it. Be aware that it is not that simple, and wishful thinking won't work. Just installing stuff without parts of the system won't work very well. OpenBSD is not a good system for guesswork. As far as developers go, we spend enough time making sure the supported configurations work...
