I am trying to upgrade Ruby, and build Firefox 3.0.11, and they both want to build gcc43 because of gfortran. Really? Firefox needs gfortran to build? I bet not. Anyway, when they try and build gcc43 (of May 31st) on my system, I get into an infinite loop by the pkg system saying that gcc43 requires gfortran to build, that gfortran is not present... the script finally dies. This happens even if I simply do this: cd /usr/ports/lang/gcc43 make It dies there too. So now I cannot upgrade firefox, noway, nohow. Interestingly enough I have gcc44 (with gfortran44!) on the system but these dependencies do not consider that a substitute. I have cvsup'd the ports trees, done portsdb -uF, pkgdb -F, and portupgrade -ar a billion times. It does not help. Everything was fine yesterday, Jun 12th for me. The change came in with Firefox 3.0.11 and some /usr/ports/devel/nspr package that Firefox needs. Something is messed up in the dependencies. Dan Allen
