Have tried that, but it rebuilds pixman, but then X bombs out blurting out messages that lib....pixman.so is missing :( I have tried to remove print/texlive-scheme-full; removed it, but then run portmaster -R pixman, and portmaster -r pixman and the running of it stops with message that !#/bin/sh .. argument too long and comes up with texlive-?????-?????-_1 or similar. Have not been successful in fixing this issue. I have 2 machines working and 2 not working because of this. I am running out of ideas. Is there another way to fix this issue manually, i.e, going to /usr/ports/x11/pixman and rebuilding it there or have to go one by one? Thanks for your advice and suggestions but I am not getting there :( Best Regards, Antonio _______________________________________________ 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"
