Hello All, I tried to install the Xorg server and xfce4 from the binary distribution, using pkg_add -r I could setup the Xorg server, but I cannot use xfce. When I run startxfce4 then I get the following message: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libobject-2.0.so.0" not found, required by "xfce4-sesion". I read somewhere that I need to update glib. But I cannot do this with pkg_add. pkg_add -r glib tells me that glib (or an older version of it) is already installed. Now I'm trying to upgrade glib with portupgrade -r glib and probably it will work. But it will take a long time to recompile every package that I have in binary format. The big advantage of using pkg_add is that I do not need to recompile everything from the ports tree. I have a slow machine and limited disk space. But it looks like I have no choice. Upgrading glib from the ports will cause many packages to be downloaded and recompiled from source. I could not find any way to update my packages in binary form. If there is a way, please help me finding it. Thanks, Les
