[Before asking here, I tried looking in the maillist archives, but they've been down everytime I've looked in the last few days.] I heard the noise a short while back about [bg]iconv, so I cvsup'd, removed iconv and libiconv, remade them, and attempted to remake the ports depending on them. After this, I compiled mozilla from just-cvsup'ed sources, and when I attempt to execute it I get /usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: /ad4s5a/X11R6/lib/mozilla/components/libuconv.so: Undefined symbol "nl_langinfo" I assume this means that it found the symbol at compile time, but the necessary library isn't there at run time. Does this mean I missed compiling something which depends on iconv and which mozilla depends on? Or something else? Hints? I wish portupgrade would do its stuff in dependency order, not just (reverse) command line order. I like the idea, and try to use it, but sometimes I'm jkust forced to use make and do parts of it the old way. [I'm about to cancel my CD subscription for -release. I've recently got ADSL, so downloads are quicker, and I'm sick of finding that installing packages off the CD overwrites my installed packages with older ones. The packages I'm trying to upgrade are sometimes only on CDs going back several versions, which makes the above problem even worse. Distfiles disappeared around 4.0. So you either install only off CD, keeping strictly in release order, or you compile everything yourself, which has its own excitements. I haven't been able to upgrade gnomecontrolcenter, galeon, or koffice for ages, even though the rest of gnome and kde seem (mostly?) okay, even if extremely painful. I fear the idea of moving /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 aside and remaking all my ports from scratch, but that's looking more necessary every time I look. Either that or downgrade to whatever version of the CD actually has installable KDE and GNOME on it.] -- Christopher Vance To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
