Petter Andre Haugseth <Petter@pcsupport.no> types: First comment: chose more descriptive subject lines; you're more likely to get answers. > I would have loved to have KDE2 (and maybe XFree86 4.0.1/2) but I have som > trouble installing it... have have downloaded the ports of KDE2, but when i > try to "pkg_add qt-2.1.1.tgz" i get several error-messages saying that I > dont have XFree86-3.3.6 installerd and png-1.0.8 among others... I have > installerd png-1.0.8_1.tgz, but I get the same error message.... Sounds like you're trying to install packages from different versions of the ports tree. I.e. - qt-2.1.1 (now obsolete) is looking for an older version of png-1.0.8 than you installed. You may want to upgrade your ports tree; a lot of work has been done recently to deal with having two versions of X around, and making library dependencies cleaner. You can also use the "-f" flag of pkg_add to get things installed if the problem is different versions of a shared library. However, they may not work properly afterwards. > So my question is, when is the next release of FreeBSD 4.x comming, and if > possible, where do I get the ISO file...? The next release should be in the next month or so. You'll be able to order CDROM's from the usual sources. > Is it going to include XFree4.0 and KDE2..? Well, both are in the ports tree. That's probably where they're going to stay. KDE isn't the kind of thing that gets included in the base system, and there's no indication that XFree4.0 has had the root compromises fixed. I can't say whether or not a package will be available on the CDROM set. > What about PCMCIA support. I have some troubble with that to, where do I > find a nice FAQ.. PCMCIA support is improving all the time. There doesn't seem to be a FAQ dealing with such, though. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
