When it prompts with the stale dependency message, set the dependency to your installed fam package. (I cheat and just use fam and let the completion catch it for me. Be sure to tell it to replace All so you don't get prompted again. The /etc/make.conf line will keep you from getting into that pickle again. Don't be too nervous about replacing this dependency because gamin supports a subset of fam's features, so you won't lose anything. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD6jSkUn6S0hqD4tsRAiWoAJ41fdNVW7G+V/LVTN14ZKw6Ix4teQCeLDxn EdDB6dgxHpo3AI6TGH9rl1s= =reze -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
