yeah it's overkill - but only if you build it from an unmodified ports makefile :) On Freebsd 5.2.1 (w/o Gnome and X) do the following: # cd /usr/ports/devel/glib20 # make install clean # cd /usr/ports/mail/gmime2/ vi or ee the Makefile and - comment out the lines starting with "USE_X_PREFIX" and "USE_GNOME" - change the line "USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER=13" to "USE_LIBTOOL_VER=15" afterwards # make install clean to build the cvs dbmail version I had to do the following: # setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig add " -I/usr/local/include" to the Cflags line in gmime-2.0.pc in PKG_CONFIG_PATH, because iconv.h is in that directory... Afterwards ./configure and gmake at least built dbmail w/o errors hope that helps :) -- Wolfram
