i tried the pkg_delete as well as rebuilding the packages from the ports and then doing a make deinstall (i don't know if they're the same thing or different). i never knew about the pkgdb, which seems to be a pretty interesting feature. however, i regret to report, i am getting the exact same problem. :/ ----- ===> apache-2.0.43 depends on shared library: expat.4 - not found ===> Verifying install for expat.4 in /usr/ports/textproc/expat2 ===> Returning to build of apache-2.0.43 Error: shared library "expat.4" does not exist *** Error code 1 ----- any other suggestions? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
