I attach my config.log file and the output of ls /var/db/pkg Thanks for any help Hi Anton, are you upgrading xorg or installing xorg for the first time in this machine? you have to follow the steps in /usr/ports/UPDATING, even if not upgrading. Hi. The situation is following: I had xorg 6.9 installed, after trying to upgrade it with portupgrade I deinstalled it and now want to install it from scratch. My portmanager program works strange thats why I cant install it usin /usr/ports/UPDATING. Do you know any other way of installing it using another tools?? Please don't top post. If you don't know what that means, please take the time to Google for it. I have reformatted this post so that it might be more readily deciphered. Now, onto your problem. Unfortunately, my crystal ball is out for repairs today. Since you did not bother to include any specific information or a copy of the log file that was created as specified in the 'UPDATING' file when you attempted to update 'xorg', I cannot assist you. However, now that you have deinstalled it, you should be able to start fresh -- I think. You probably need to follow these instructions: It is necessary to set the XORG_UPGRADE environment variable while updating from xorg 6.9 to 7.2. Once the upgrade is complete this is no longer be required. For users of csh-like shells: # setenv XORG_UPGRADE yes For users of sh-like shells: # export XORG_UPGRADE=yes I am assuming that you have the portupgrade-devel port installed. If not, it would probably behoove you to do so first as described in the 'UPDATING' file. You could also probably go this route via portmanager. First, make sure you have an up-to-date ports tree. Next, run: pkgdb -Ffuv This should make sure that all of the dependencies are listed correctly. Now, run: portmanager x11/xorg -l -f That should get xorg installed along with its dependencies. -- Gerard DISCLAIMER If you find a posting or message from me offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive, please ignore it.

OK, I installed the /x11/xorg port. There were only 5 files that
needed updating, but nothing new installed. After installing the port,
I again tried running 'startx' and received the same error message I
was receiving before. I am unable to locate a 'pcidata' file on my
system, although there is a reference to something similar:
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/libpcidata.la
/usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/libpcidata.so
I am at a loose here. I have tried Googling; however, I have not come
up with a definitive answer.

My question is, can i use portmsanager for change to the new version of Xorg?. Thanks very much, in advance. I used the prescribed method in the 'UPDATING' file when I first attempted to update to Xorg-7.2 on my system. There is this notation in the 'UPDATING' file: If your machine does NOT have any gstreamer ports installed, you can then run: # portupgrade -a However, if you DO have gstreamer ports installed, you must run: # portupgrade -a -x 'gstreamer*' Followed by: # portupgrade -Rr 'gstreamer*' Well, I do have it installed, so I followed the directions exactly. When it completed, the log file that was created showed that 'gstreamer' totally failed to update. I ran the script indicated in the 'UPDATING' file as well as deleting the 'man' pages as specified. I then simply reboot to insure that everything would start correctly. I then used portsnap to update the ports tree and finally used portmanager as thus: portmanager -u -p -l That updated over 400 ports (took awhile) but after that everything works fine. I guess I would recommend using the 'portupgrade' method as shown in the 'UPDATING' file; however, after going that route, you might want to run portmanager to insure that all of the ports were actually updated correctly.

Re: enable fetchmail system-wide mode
On Wednesday May 30, 2007 at 06:51:26 (PM) Bob wrote: I want to run fetchmail enabled for system wide mode. The command line cmd fetchmail -q issued from user root gets meaningless error msg. Reviewing /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail has comments talking about system wide mode running under user fetchmail. How does the system admin control fetchmail when user fetchmail needs password to logon and no where is password given during install. Also /usr/local/etc/fetchmailrc which is suppose to be the config file is empty. Even fetchmailrc.sample is empty. The port pkg-message file is absent so there is no information describing how to configure fetchmail in system-wide mode or individual user mode. These are unique run modes to freebsd and are not covered in the fetchmail manual. The port pkg-message file should be created with instructions about how to configure it. Before in 4.11 through 5.4 I started fetchmail using /usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail.sh and /root/,fetchmailrc and had root admin control of fetchmail. How do I achieve admin control now that fetchmail has been converted to use rc.conf fetchmail_enable=YES to start at boot time? Did you try 'man fetchmail'? That should give you the required configuration information. As you wrote, having the proper notation in the '/etc/rc.conf' file will start 'fetchmail' upon boot-up, assuming that there does exist a properly configured 'fetchmailrc' file. You might also want to investigate the '/usr/local/etc/rc.d/fetchmail' file. I had to slightly modify it to work the way I wanted on my system. I would suggest that you do that 'AFTER' you have gotten it to relatively the way you want it to. -- Gerard I feel sorry for people who don't drink.

Portmanger then waited for a y/n response for 5 minutes, and went with the default of deleting the port.

Forcing correct version of Clamav to be installed
I recently contacted the maintainer of 'claws-mail' -- Alexander Leidinger [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- regarding a problem with that port. It wants to install 'clamav' even though I have 'clamav-devel' installed. Since these ports conflict, the install fails. After talking to Alexander, he informs me that it is a generic problem with the ports system and that it should be fixed there. I haven't got the knowledge of how to accomplish this however. Instead, I modified the claws-mail Makefile to have it install clamav-devel rather than clamav. The problem is that portsnap will over write that change if and when it updates the port requiring me to manually re-edit the Makefile. My question is how would I proceed to force any port that wants to install clamav to rather install clamav-devel?

How to build program with debug symbols
FreeBSD-6.2 I need to know how to build a program with debugging symbols. The problem I am having is that claws-mail-2.7.2 continually crashes but does not display any debug symbols. I talked with the claws-mail people, and they advised me to build a version with debug symbols since the output I supplied them was useless without it. Their suggestion was that I build from a tarball and use the proper ‘config’ flags to get debug symbols included in the program. The problem is that I would rather not mess with that scenario, but rather use the port version instead. The port version does have an option to build a debug version, but apparently, the symbols are stripped out when the program is installed. The port maintainer suggested that I use this is the Makefile: STRIP= #empty However, he is not even sure if it will work. I just want to find out what the best way to go about this is so that I can get this problem resolved.

Re: Portmanager - not working after ports change

I reported this problem around 10 am. yesterday. Sometime around 2 pm. a patch was submitted. An updated version of 'portmanager' was in the port's system by 4 pm. Personally, I consider that a rather quick fix. Yes, you will have to do a regular 'make install' to get the newer version installed.
