And, if so > could you suggest somthign I should look at to fix it? avahi and howl both install files of the same names in the same locations, so it is impossible to install both. As avahi has a howl compatibility layer, it is a drop-in replacement and should be installed with the command: portupgrade -o /usr/ports/net/avahi -f howl This assumes that you use portupgrade and your ports tree is in the standard location. -- R.
