KDE is completly unusable at this point because of this. Yes, this is apparently a FAQ, and not as OS specific one. The errors are the clues: mismatched header and code for the png libraries. How? You've got 2 versions of PNG installed. You should have only 1 version of PNG on your system. Corollary is that all other packages installed must be linked against that same version of PNG. This happens when some packages are updated that use libpng and others are not. It seems that it must be an all or nothing upgrade. Look on the mailing list archives from about a week ago (search for libpng) and you'll find the previous discussion; it provides more detail. FWIW: KDE and Qt should be able to use their own private version of libpng if desired. However, their make technology does not support that at the moment. I investigated this a while back on RH Rawhide and decided I didn't want to start mucking around in the kde*/admin directories: it affects all of KDE, and I felt the risk/reward ratio was too high. -- Alan Eldridge #include <cstdlib> free(sklyarov); To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
