Fresh install of 6.0 RC1, gnome 2.12 from marcus's tb, freshly cvsupped ports. I need to install some little apps like gaim and pan. when running 'make install clean' for these ports i'll get a message that the correct version of port X is not installed. Problem is make says i need a newer version but the version numbers indicate i've got a newer version than what its looking for. Then a little part about 'FORCE_PACKAGE_REGISTER.' There is an example of this below this message. If i use this it will install the older version of the dependencies or at least register them. I say this on the last system that i hosed...2 copies of the same package would be registered. Not good. How should i *properly* install these ports? As in what's not going to get me in trouble? ===> Installing for glib-2.6.6 ===> glib-2.6.6 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.7 - found ===> glib-2.6.6 depends on executable: pkg-config - found ===> glib-2.6.6 depends on shared library: intl - found ===> Generating temporary packing list ===> Checking if devel/glib20 already installed ===> An older version of devel/glib20 is already installed (glib-2.8.3) You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/glib20 without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/glib20. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/accessibility/atk. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/textproc/gtkspell2. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/net/gaim. Thanks for the help. Loving my BSD laptop so far...just straightening some things out. /mak.
