Hi,

Using FreeBSD 4.4 release and tracking stable, I tried to build the
Evolution port but it failed due to a missing libfreetype.so.6. I
originally had installed the XFree86-4 port, which did provide this, but
after reading in FreeBSD diary (http://www.freebsddiary.org/xfree86-4.php)
that this mega-port is to be soon deprecated in favor of the sub-packages
XFree86-4-libraries -clients and -Server, I deinstalled the mega-port and
reinstalled the sub-packages. It appears that the sub-packages don't
provide libfreetype.so.6.

The only reference I could find about this problem is Problem Report
ports/30813, http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=30813. I tried to
install the ports/gnome port in case it was provided there, but it also
failed missing this file. Is there another package I can install that
provides this file, or should I just deinstall the sub-packages and
reinstall the XFree98-4 mega-port?

Thanks.
