how to deinstall the gnome2-lite port from my system completely?

[richard cinema]

hi everybody,

  i'm a newbie of freebsd although i 've had some exps in linux. so
here comes my problem:

i got 5.4-RELEASE-p6 installed in my pc. after finished the good
world and kernel building stuff,i  installed the xorg from port, and
test it after that.it works well. then came the gnome2.


because of the hd and time limit, i chose the gnome2-lite meta port
and compiling is done without any problems.


  i got some  another panel running error when i enter  gnome2 ,
hmm, the gnome still runs well with this error. but i dn't want to see
it everytime, google told me it could be some kind of gcc3.4
optimising error with pentium4 cpu( i got prescott cpu in my pc ). so
i decide to recompile the whole gnome2-lite port from the very
begining (say from gtk2?).



at first, i try to do a  make deinstall under
/usr/ports/x11/gnome2-lite . no error occured
except i found all the gnome stuff stay there when i run pkg_info
then.   it seems the port did nothing with my make deinstall
command.

anybody can help me to figure out a proper solution to this problem?

btw: i know a silly and slow way: use pkg_delete -f  to delete all
the gnome2 and gtk2 packages manually. well, it make me feel like a
type machine:)


so, i'm waiting in front of my pc for the answer.

thx in advance.

gnome2-lite is a meta-port, it consists of nothing but dependencies, and 
deinstalling a port does not delete dependencies.

A number of those ports will actually be needed by non-gnome ports anyway.

You can reinstall  gnome2-lite and  run 

   pkg_deinstall -Ri  gnome2-lite 

this will interactively delete the metaport and it's dependencies.  If you 
choose to  delete a dependency that is still required it will just fail to 
delete.

sysutils/pkg_cutleaves is another way of handling this, and doing a general 
clean-up
