The error message that comes up is: /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libgtk-1.2.so.5" not found I verified that I do have gtk-1.2.7 installed through pkg_info. According to the XFCE web page is will work with that. Chip Wiegand www.wiegand.org Alternative Operating Systems PS As for why I put it in /usr/ports/distfiles - I read somewhere that that was the place to install new files from, but am I to assume that is for ports only, not packages? So, then what is the proper directory to install from? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
