When I tried to delete gcc-4.3.4_20090517 I got this message: pkg_delete: package 'gcc-4.3.4_20090517' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: blas-1.0_3 cgnslib-2.5.3_1 fftw3-3.2 fftw3-float-3.2_1 fr-med-2.3.5 getdp-1.2.1_7 gmsh-2.3.1 lapack-3.2.1 libofa-0.9.3_3 libsamplerate-0.1.7_1 octave-3.0.5_1 suitesparse-3.3.0 When I tried to delete gcc-4.2.5_20090325 I got this: pkg_delete: package 'gcc-4.2.5_20090325' is required by these other packages and may not be deinstalled: pdftk-1.41 Why all these ports depend on gcc? They may want to compile with different gcc therefore incurring the build-dependency. But why I can't now uninstall those gccs? Looks like they are all run-dependency. Yuri
