So the X server was running on your -CURRENT machine, but the application was running on your -STABLE machine? I think this is because on -STABLE, Mozilla compiles without the extra font stuff by default, doesn't it? THat was mentioned in an earlier message by someone else. Can you copy over the code as configured on -CURRENT to the -STABLE machine, so it compiles and links everything as if it were running on a -CURRENT machine? E.g. verify your implication that it's the compiler or the libraries specific to the -CURRENT machine, rather than a diffirence in the environment sensed by "configure", etc.? -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
