FBSD 7, Gnome2-lite port broken
I've tried checking as far as my knowledge will allow the reason for this error, but its got me beat. I was installing the above port, and the config screen came up for one of its dependencies surrounding ghostscript I believe where it said "don't be stingy on the options selected as another port might need it later". So I checked them all as I probably will need them all at some point in the future. Also to note here there was a majority already selected to begin with. Unfortunately, I can't find that screen again to uncheck some options, and I think its ghostscript-gpl which is failing. It errors on not finding vga.h and lvga.h files. So I installed all src's from sysinstall, but NG. I think I have to ways to solve this: find the vga files it wants, or find that screen again and uncheck those options. The former seems like the responsible thing to do (if it can be resolved), but I'll settle for the latter if I have to. Unless, of course, I can be of some help to the list in this issue... ___ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This dialog is not the standart port's OPTIONS dialog and it doesn't remember the options you have choosen between builds. So, to fix the build: cd /usr/ports/print/ghostscript-gpl make clean make install Once you are in this dialog again, just go on with the defaults. BTW, can someone more experienced comment on reasons to have non-standard configure script? Possibly related: are there any non-trivial reasons to have ghostscript (rather significant for many other ports) maintained by ports@ ? Or are there just no volunteers?

I got that dialog again... Thanks for that bit of saving info. But I think the more important question here is why does it say go nuts with the options submitted (which you can't go back and make config) if there's these traps in there. Perhaps it should say don't change them unless you know what you're in for (or doing)?
