After completing a system upgrade to 4.5-STABLE - idaeim:root>> uname -a FreeBSD idaeim 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Sat Feb 16 16:34:23 MST 2002 root@idaeim:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/IDAEIM i386 - including a cvsup of the ports tree, I'm still not able to get the gnomeprint installation that is necessary for so many of the gnome packages; it was the lack of gnomeprint that caused my pkg_add of glademm to be fouled. idaeim:root>> pkg_add -r gnomeprint Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/Latest/gnomeprint.tgz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access) pkg_add: unable to fetch `ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/Latest/gnomeprint.tgz' by URL At http://www.freebsd.org/ports/gnome.html gnomeprint-0.34 (there is no 0.35 version that I am able to find) does not have a Package link. However, a Search for "gnomeprint" Package Name 4.4-STABLE/i386 (there is no 4.5-STABLE/i386 option?) provides a gnomeprint-0.34 listing under Category print that does have a Package link; but this link is broken (there is no such file). At the ftp.FreeBSD.org site there is a gnomeprint-0.34.tgz under /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.5-release/gnome but this is a broken soft link. I was able to find the gnomeprint-0.34.tgz package file under /pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5-current/All, which makes me think that this file has simply been misplaced. If the site manager would copy gnomeprint-0.34.tgz into the usual All location I'm sure that would help a lot of people avoid gnome grief. :-) Thnx, -- Bradford Castalia Castalia@azstarnet.com Systems Analyst http://azstarnet.com/~castalia idaeim 520-624-6629 Ade Lovett wrote: > > On 02/15/02 18:21, "Bradford Castalia" <Castalia@azstarnet.com> wrote: > > > The gnomeprint-0.34 package, listed for 4.4-STABLE/i386, is currently > > not available for download.
