Thanks in advance. d The contents of any given port are in pkg-plist, so running the command "find /usr/ports -name pkg-plist | xargs grep -l libgtk" will list the ports that include the file (mostly, anyway - some ports generate packing lists dynamically). It looks like you want x11-toolkits/gtk12 for that library, but it may be one of the other gtk ports in x11-toolkits. As for "running smooth", that depends on what you want to run. For example, I've got a number of machines that have no use for libgtk. The "ldd" command on a binary will tell you what libraries it is using and, more importantly, what libraries it needs but can't find. You can then use the "find" above to see which port, if any, have that library. If the command that has the problem was installed from ports and doesn't pick up the dependency, then that's a bug in the port and should be reported to the maintainer (listed in the Makefile). If it's not a port, you should check to see if it exists. If it doesn't exist, you should turn make one for it and send-pr it. <mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
