When I tried to "just" upgrade, I ran into all sorts of trouble just like that described above. A couple of the problems were fixed by manually installing the dependant port (Mesa did this), then re-entering the kde build, but I was never able to get the libjpeg stuff to work. It doesn't seem to mind not having libjpeg, BTW, it just disables jpeg support and continues on its merry way to QT, which I also wasn't able to work around. I finally started the whole thing from scratch. Granted, I had a couple of other things I had wanted to do for a while (change my partitioning, for one) so it was no big loss. Ultimately, I think the problem stemmed from installing stuff intially (at sysinstall) as packages, then upgrading stuff as ports. I also had some problems related to the Xfree3.3.6==>4.0.2 upgrade I did a while back...in short, there was a lot of cruft in my system, and it was easiest to just reinstall the whole thing from scratch. Once I did that, kde 2.2 went in just fine the first time, dependencies and all. mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
