newbie ports question
I seem to be getting myself in trouble repeatedly...I'm sure someone can help... Fresh install of 6.0 RC1, gnome 2.12 from marcus's tb, freshly cvsupped ports. I need to install some little apps like gaim and pan. when running 'make install clean' for these ports i'll get a message that the correct version of port X is not installed. Problem is make says i need a newer version but the version numbers indicate i've got a newer version than what its looking for. Then a little part about 'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER.' There is an example of this below this message. If i use this it will install the older version of the dependencies or at least register them. I say this on the last system that i hosed...2 copies of the same package would be registered. Not good. How should i *properly* install these ports? As in what's not going to get me in trouble? === Installing for glib-2.6.6 === glib-2.6.6 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.7 - found === glib-2.6.6 depends on executable: pkg-config - found === glib-2.6.6 depends on shared library: intl - found === Generating temporary packing list === Checking if devel/glib20 already installed === An older version of devel/glib20 is already installed (glib-2.8.3) You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.

Re: newbie ports question
I'd start with installing portupgrade, and trying to portupgrade -arR. I'm sure there's another solution, though. What is the use of specifying the 'r' switch when using the 'a' switch? # portupgrade -ar Since all installed ports are targeted wouldn't installed ports that depend on another installed port be upgraded anyway (if necessary)? I understand the reasoning behind using the 'R' switch with 'a' since there may be new ports that are not installed that are required by installed ports. __ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm sure there's another solution, though. I would suggest installing every port with : portinstall -vRP directory_of_the_port/name_of_the_port e.g. portinstall -vRP net/gaim That will update all needed ports when necessary, fetching a precompiled version, or if not possible, downloading and compiling it from source. As I like verbosity, I put the -v.

I with you until after 'deinstall'. What does make distclean and popd do? Googled a bit and got unsatisfactory answers. I am simply using the default shell. This is how i got in trouble before...make deinstall and then make install clean of glib20. Then gnome will be unable to start complaining of missing a libgtk.so.o file (that's not the exact name). Since there was a new rc1 and i was just experimenting i blew the install away and went with the new. I'm not too keen on doing that again...

Like i said...you're dealing with a newb here. I am obviously missunderstanding something... You'll want to look through ports manpage. It only takes a minute to read, but saves you a lifetime of questions. As I understand, you're dealing with kind of bug in glib20 port. You might be lucky enough so that portupgrade will get over it - and fix everything. By the way, did you update the INDEX files in /usr/ports? Run portsdb -uUF to fetch and install a fresh index. Do it every time after cvsupping your ports tree. For now, try: # cd /usr/ports/sysutils/portupgrade # make install If it fails, post the errors here, please # cvsup -g -L 2 your-ports-supfile # portsdb -uUF # portversion -l\ Show's what's outdated # portupgrade -arR Tries to upgrade what's outdated ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

newbie ports question
AFAIK the subject's accurate, best I could do anyway. Here's what I get on /var/log/httpd-error.log when running a program I wrote which works on other webservers (that I didn't set up): [Wed Dec 03 16:29:10 2003] [error] [client 192.168.0.1] Can't locate object method new via package Net::FTP::A at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach/IO/Socket.pm line 253., referer: http://swamisalami/cgibin/sim3.pl In the course of porting this code to my local sandbox I ran into a compile error stemming from Net::FTP, a Perl package not present on my box. Since I'm ignorant of how to upgrade my Perl install I just kept going to cpan.org and manually installing whatever package sources the compiler complained about until it stopped complaining. It was a pita and turns out not done properly anyhow, or so it seems. If this makes sense then I think where I stand now is that I've broken my Perl install and need to fix it, in particular must reinstall Net::FTP and any of its dependencies. Maybe now's the time I need to actually learn something more about ports than just make build; make install. FWIW I'm running perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd under FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE installed (including Perl) from the mini-iso.

Another newbie ports question
Ok, I just cvsup'ed my ports tree, and I am trying to upgrade to the latest korganizer. I upgraded qt to the latest version, and then it told me to update kdelibs. But I got this error: This port requires the OpenSSL library, which is part of the FreeBSD crypto distribution but not installed on your machine. Please see the OpenSSL section in the handbook (at http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/openssl.html;, for instance) for instructions on how to obtain and install the FreeBSD OpenSSL distribution. *** Error code 1 ... but I already have kdelibs installed. Is this a new requirement? Do I need to recompile my kernel to make this work?
