If a version is labeled with a non-numeric character in some of the gnome= =20 applications, the configure script gets confused and dies. The bsd portversion will be assigned something like 1.8.17_1 for libXml. = The=20 configure script might be looking for something greater than 1.8.8. I've= =20 found that all I have to do is edit the configure script and hard code th= e=20 libXml version into the variable "vers" and comment out the gnome-configu= re=20 extraction of the version. This seems a bit tedious. Is there a better = fix? Gene To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-gnome" in the body of the message
