Does the X11 version run on Linux only? Or does it run on Solaris and FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD as well? In the latter case, isn't there a good chance to make it work on Mac OS X (Darwin) + X11 too without many changes? Or does Mac OS X have too many specificities not common to some other supported OS? Also, Firefox/Gecko uses GTK+ under X11. Hasn't most of the hard work been done by porting GTK+? -- Vincent Lefèvre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.org/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.org/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arenaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
