In case this reply helps you, you were lucky enough to miss
a rather lengthy and boring thread discussing the dependency
of gd on X to death. It died about yesterday. ;-)

Hi Craig,

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

rade... :-(
Yours,
Ingo
P.S.
I would be rather surprised if your problem were related to any bug
in the pkg_* tools.

Don't have packages mess up the base system. Keep central

i cannot confirm that the AAC problems were related to load.
To the contrary, my impression was that the crashes
caused by my Adaptec AAC 2410-SA occurred at random,
even when there was no load w

d so far, try (as root)
# ldconfig -m /usr/X11R6/lib
Use
$ ldconfig -r | head -n2
once more to see what you just changed by doing so.
After that, ld.so ought to be able to find your X libraries.
That's all rather basic stuff, though.
Yours,

No, and there cannot be.
The purpose of a WYSIWIG editor is to achieve a particular
visual impression (most WYSIWIG editors suck even at that task,
but that's beside the point).
