Thunderbird and Firefox have been broken for ages sometimes there are reports of them working (a little). but, yeah, it is reasonable to want to know, even before buying hardware much less compiling, whether this port has a working browser or not. Isn't there some spot in the FreeBSD base system where you have to choose your thread library, and one works better on sparc64 than the other? Is the thread library that works best on sparc64 set as the default right now? --pgp-sign-Multipart_Mon_Oct_22_01:17:27_2007-1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (NetBSD) iQCVAwUARxwycYnCBbTaW/4dAQKLywP+NpiW5Eevz5tm6tqhI1OKyyWFg3t+uIj9 t0CqDdW/cnFV5LQnge10B67W9qTtVfsyKX1/JGQmup6An35bw1la3dWSTyn+Wq+1 mExj3Xfy5c6E0JHyG4xLmvgikhjLcBt0OXEfboY/qdF9iujLXz/Uc/7SmUsJQeq0 mvCEsl+ZfGM= =PJCc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pgp-sign-Multipart_Mon_Oct_22_01:17:27_2007-1--
