come to think of it, if you forced the installation of XFree86 & other _dependent_ ports were already installed, it is quite probable that they were not rebuilt/reinstalled, only this particular meta port. not quite what you were expecting, eh? you may want to reinstall those _dependent_ packages too. in addition, sysutils/portupgrade port may be of some help. i personally don't use it for port building, only for fixing port database. others don't get tired of mentioning it again & again. - parv -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
