I guess I'm not the first to suggest: Would it be possible (maybe easier for you) to require a newer gcc? I use FreeBSD 6.4. Some of the ports I use require KDE, but these ports are not critical to me. Other ports require gcc43 because of issues with gfortran (math/R, math/atlas), so I already have a newer gcc. I use Windowmaker. Thanks for your work.
