Hello everyone
Installed my FreeBSD 8.1 system last night. Trying to build firefox and
thunderbird and both fail when compiling the same component. I've put a
screenshot on the net: http://gnix.co.uk/code.html
I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this and if so if and how they

Hi
I have installed conky for use with my wm which is Spectrwm. However, looking
in the conky Makefile one of the configure options has been disabled, tcp

Hi
I want to start using pkgng but from reading posts on this list it sppears
there are still some tweaks required, as would be expected with a project like
this. So, my question is: is it stable enough to start using now on my stable/9
system? I don't mind having to deal with the occasional p

Hi
This morning I updated my ports tree using svn. Then used `portmaster -L` to
check outdated ports, etc. and there is a message/warning/whatever, from
portmaster about linux-f10-alsa-lib-1.0.21_1 - this is the output:

I am having an issue with mutt 1.5.21. I have set up different colour schemes,

because I wanted to link mutt to the ncurses port rather than the system
ncurses installation. After soing non of my colours show, onl

I then ran portmaster -a . it prompted me to select options from the
blue options screen, I selected pkgng support.
Anyway, the update of portmaster failed. I ran p
