No, your interpretation is flawed. The "missing lib" is not a port, so the ports collection can't install it. libc_r is part of 2.2.5-stable tree. Its just not compiled by default. However, at this point, libc_r (which is already in the 2.2.5-stable tree) will likely have to made into a port too (rather redundant), so that ports can use it. > Gary > -- > Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member > FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.
