Slightly less bad, but still likely to be forgotten. One also has to assume that if the folks who write the shared lib chose to bump the version number it was for a good reason. That's not always true, but it's true more often than it is not. A better suggestion would be to do this: mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg cd /usr/local/lib mv libgettextpo.so.4 and libintl.so.8 /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/ /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start Then go about rebuilding your ports in an orderly manner until those libraries are no longer needed, at which point you can delete them. hth, Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
