Obviously I haven't paid enough attention to the ML archives. So this has already been discussed recently, and, as far as I understand (and as I would expect) the problem is that you can't really trust an RPM built by just anyone. http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-emulation/2010-December/008259.html Anyway, I hope that the information might nevertheless be helpful to some subscribers, and there are now not one, but two (if there aren't even more) updated ports for those adventurous enough to try them. :) Cheers, Luchesar On 12/30/10 04:37, Luchesar V.
