Attempting the first port failed - The entire FreeBSD installation was recently done - accomplished from an older 6.2 ISO - so I decided to do a portupgrade of linux-base. I was then able to install the missing ports you suggested, and -presto-, acroread is working fine. Thanks for your help Boris. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
