In short - thanks to your hints everything's healthy again :-)) Here's what I did (in case others are suffering from this problem too): fgrep -e lzma -nHr /usr/local/lib --include='*.la' yielded a bunch of results - grep-ed for "/usr/local/lib/liblzma.la". Then feeded these into pkg_info -W which nicely pointed me to the corresponding port where this library comes from. The only thing I had to do then was to make deinstall;make clean; make install this port. In my case it was e.g. the "ImageMagick-6.7.0.10_1" port causing all the mess. So thanks to you all who responded. It's great to have such a knowledgeable and helpful community out there - you indeed learn something new every day. -ewald
