I'm attempting to install a port for the first time, and it's been interesting. I'm running FreeBSD 2.2.6, and need to install ghostscript. I've been told that gs6 won't work with 2.2.x, so, short of upgrading the whole system, which I'd be sure to screw up, I figure the best thing is to install an older gs. I tried to install ghostscript 5.10, but it wants to fetch a file that it can't find anywhere: ghostscript-5.10gnu.tar.gz. Next I installed the gs6 package, and then was told that it wouldn't work. It must be true, because it wants an interpreter to speak to the elves. I can't even manage to remove it with pkg_delete. Next on the list has been an attempt to install the 5.50 port. This time it's looking for: libpng-0.99e.tar.gz I can find libpng-0.96.tar.gz and libpng-1.0.2.tar.gz, but not 0.99e. If any of you know where to find this, OR ghostscript-5.10gnu.tar.gz, I'd appreciate a pointer. For a first experience with the FreeBSD Ports, this has been rather ... er ... challenging. I hope they're not all this way.
