Check your build logs (or use ldd on binaries) to make sure you don't have mutliple or conflicting versions of the image rendering libraries. Multiple installed versions of libpng can cause this behavior... I've seen it on RH Linux Rawhide when the system was half-upgraded to a new libpng version. The libpng inconsistencies caused exactly the symptoms you describe when I ran into the problem a month or so ago. Only solution was to make sure there was exactly one version of libpng installed. -- Alan Eldridge from std_disclaimer import * To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
