As an example, net/avahi-app fails to build on my machine because of the error: /libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libicui18n.so.38" not found, required by "libavahi-glib.so.1" This can be fixed by removing the port before building so that it is unable to link against /usr/local/lib/libavahi-glib.so.1 and instead correctly links against ./work/avahi-0.6.29/avahi-glib/.libs/libavahi-glib.so.1 but is it correct to assume uninstall is needed before attempting to build a new version or are there suggested fixes or examples of working through this? I can try to dig up other examples I have ran into in detail but was wondering about the general approach and if the freebsd ports tree likes to fix it, note it, or ignore it? Thanks again, Edward Sanford Sutton, III
