i am running gnome2
my make ran into the following error:
===> Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/xorg/libraries in
/usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries
/usr/X11R6 exists, but it is not a symlink. Installation cannot proceed.
This looks like an incompletely removed old version of X. In the current
version, /usr/X11R6 must be a symlink if it exists at all.Please read
/usr/ports/UPDATING (entry of 20070519) for the procedure to upgrade X.org
related ports.*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer.
*** Error code 1

i followed a bunch of the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING entry
20070519.. one failure was here:
kv_bsd# /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -Rf LibXft
** No such installed package: LibXft
kv_bsd#
i ignored it and went to the next step. i haven't done anything
about gstreamer, i THINK.. pkgdb -F seemed to go allright..
but then when i was using mergebase.sh i noted that all of
the crucial varialbles were blank:
Enter 'yes' to continue, anything else will exit script:
Aborted.
kv_bsd# echo "$X11BASE $LOCALBASE $BACKUPDIR"
X11BASE: Undefined variable.
kv_bsd# echo "$LOCALBASE $BACKUPDIR"
LOCALBASE: Undefined variable.
kv_bsd# echo "$BACKUPDIR"
BACKUPDIR: Undefined variable.
kv_bsd# sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh
that didn't feel right.. but i hit yes.. but then i
got to here:
Enter 'yes' to continue, anything else will exit script: yes
CONFLICTING FILES:
./man/whatis
./share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
./share/gnome/applications/mimeinfo.cache
./share/mime/XMLnamespaces
./share/mime/aliases
./share/mime/globs
./share/mime/magic
./share/mime/mime.cache
./share/mime/subclasses
Files that exist both in /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 have been found as
shown above. Merging will not continue.
While some such files are safe to remove as they will be regenerated (like
/usr/X11R6/man/whatis), some you might want to move away somewhere safe,
and some might point to conflicts in ports.
For this script to continue, you need to either move these files away from
/usr/X11R6 or delete them. If you don't know what to do about a particular
file, ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list.
The list is saved in /tmp/mergebase.KRqFzl0P.
