Problem when trying to install packages under 4.2 snapshot
Hi all, I have the OpenBSD 4.2 snapshot installed, and everything is working fine. But when installing gimp-2.2.17, pkg_add has returned the following error message: Can't install gimp-2.2.17 : lib not found expat.9.0 Using locate I've found: /usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.so.8.0 Has anyone ever faced this problem before? I've already searched the web but I could not find a tip on how to solve this issue. Thanks in advance for the time wasted reading this e-mail. -- Joco Salvatti Undergraduating in Computer Science Federal University of Para - UFPA web: http://www.openbsd-pa.org e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You're using a package snapshot newer than the OS snapshot you have installed. (-current package snaps are always going to trail OS snaps by a bit, currently something around a few days - a week on the faster arch i.e. i386/amd64/sparc64, more on slower arch, so you should have time to update your OS before the package snaps need a newer OS installed). -current works well, but it *is* a moving target, and most developers have limited time which doesn't allow for much hand-holding there. If you're following development code, please follow as an absolute minimum the website (faq/current.html), and really you should also be reading tech@ and source-changes@ (maybe OWC as an alternative) and also ports@ and ports-changes@ if you're interested in ports/packages to get an idea of what's going on.
