However, there are ports (such as www/gallery) where the current PHP port structure does not let the installer of the port know which PHP extensions are required. Indeed, the www/gallery port does not indicate that any such extensions are required, with the result that it is easy to do a do an install of www/gallery with no errors indicated until it's time to actually try to use it, at which point messages such as Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_id() in /usr/local/www/data-dist/gallery/session.php on line 47 will be displayed instead of the desired information. >How-To-Repeat: Start with a machine running FreeBSD-STABLE, with /usr/ports populated, but no ports installed. Then cd /usr/ports/www/gallery && make install After some time, the process should finish; if you point a Web browser at http://localhost/gallery, you should see something similar to the above "Fatal error". >Fix: It looks as if installing the "right" PHP extensions ought to fix this. Apparently gallery depends on devel/php4-pcre and lang/php4-extensions; it may depend on other ports, as well. I think the dependencies for www/gallery need to be re-worked to avoid the problems Peace, david -- David H.

Rather, I block spammers' access to SMTP servers I control, and encourage others who are in a position to do so to do likewise. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
