They belonged to libmng-0.9.3 and I had libmng-1.0 installed at that point. Libmng was required by qt-2.2.4 and on. I ended up pkg_deleting and remaking everything from qt-2.2.4 up and the messages disappeared. It was on a kvm shared setup and I'm not sure which system couldn't do a startx. > > (PS logging in as root is bad :) Try testing the install of a port on your system as a user. I happen to like the dependancy view I get from pib. With a couple of exceptions I also don't use FreeBSD to browse the Internet. First, my server and gateway won't run x-windows. When you have a question on KDE, you almost have to use konqueror to visit kde.org for help. That is built into kde. You also get to visit kdevelop.org for the same reason when you run it. I happen to hate Netscape on FreeBSD but will use it over IE on a W2K machine. But there are some sites that I have to go to that require IE. Their information simply doesn't show up on Netscape. As long as I have both setups, I will use the one that irritates me the least.
