Should have done that first. I am trying to install Mozilla 1.3 -- trying being the operative word. (The reference to 1.2 was simply an attempt to get anything to work since I've been without a browser for a few days now. Need a faster workstation, all this compiling takes most of my day. *shrug*) It would seem (from the Makefile) that Mozilla 1.3 (from ports) depends on glib-1.2.10_9. However, it also depends on libIDL-0.8.0_1 which in turn depends on glib-2.0.200. Trying to build Mozilla 1.3 would at first complain about a missing glib.h (despite it being installed, as far as I knew). After completely removing glib (and libIDL since it depended on glib) Mozilla builds a bit longer and adds glib 1.2.10_9 from ports as indicated by its Makefile... I began to get excited (my mistake), then it died complaining libIDL isn't installed... Why wouldn't it simply install it if it needs it? That's how it's worked in the past... Installing libIDL manually installs the new glib which makes Mozilla again complain about glib.h. So I'm not quite sure of the right way to proceed... Do I go ahead with the libIDL install, sucking in the latest glib... Then deal with the problems it causes for Mozilla? I thought just uninstalling everything and letting the Mozilla port sort things out for itself would have been the sanest method. -mrh -- From: "Spam Catcher" <spam-catcher@adept.org> To: spam-catcher@adept.org Do NOT send email to the address listed above or you will be added to a blacklist!
