i am trying to install plugins for my firefox browser kv_bsd# uname -a FreeBSD kv_bsd 6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE #0: Fri Jan 12 10:40:27 UTC 2007 root@dessler.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 kv_bsd# i am running gnome2 my make ran into the following error: ===> Verifying install for /usr/local/libdata/xorg/libraries in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries /usr/X11R6 exists, but it is not a symlink. Installation cannot proceed. This looks like an incompletely removed old version of X. In the current version, /usr/X11R6 must be a symlink if it exists at all.Please read /usr/ports/UPDATING (entry of 20070519) for the procedure to upgrade X.org related ports.*** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/xorg-libraries. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/multimedia/mplayer. kv_bsd# i followed a bunch of the instructions in /usr/ports/UPDATING entry 20070519.. one failure was here: kv_bsd# /usr/local/sbin/portupgrade -Rf LibXft ** No such installed package: LibXft kv_bsd# i ignored it and went to the next step. i haven't done anything about gstreamer, i THINK.. pkgdb -F seemed to go allright.. but then when i was using mergebase.sh i noted that all of the crucial varialbles were blank: Enter 'yes' to continue, anything else will exit script: Aborted. kv_bsd# echo "$X11BASE $LOCALBASE $BACKUPDIR" X11BASE: Undefined variable. kv_bsd# echo "$LOCALBASE $BACKUPDIR" LOCALBASE: Undefined variable. kv_bsd# echo "$BACKUPDIR" BACKUPDIR: Undefined variable. kv_bsd# sh /usr/ports/Tools/scripts/mergebase.sh that didn't feel right.. but i hit yes.. but then i got to here: Enter 'yes' to continue, anything else will exit script: yes CONFLICTING FILES: ./man/whatis ./share/applications/mimeinfo.cache ./share/gnome/applications/mimeinfo.cache ./share/mime/XMLnamespaces ./share/mime/aliases ./share/mime/globs ./share/mime/magic ./share/mime/mime.cache ./share/mime/subclasses Files that exist both in /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 have been found as shown above. Merging will not continue. While some such files are safe to remove as they will be regenerated (like /usr/X11R6/man/whatis), some you might want to move away somewhere safe, and some might point to conflicts in ports. For this script to continue, you need to either move these files away from /usr/X11R6 or delete them. If you don't know what to do about a particular file, ask on x11@FreeBSD.org mailing list. The list is saved in /tmp/mergebase.KRqFzl0P. kv_bsd# i decided i had a headache. should i just press on anyway? *----------------------------------------------------------* Kayven Riese, BSCS, MS (Physiology and Biophysics) (415) 902 5513 cellular http://kayve.net Webmaster http://ChessYoga.org *----------------------------------------------------------*
