Is it just me, or are others having a similar problem? I still have XFree86 4.1.0_12 with: 28:-lfreetype.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.so.6 171:-lfreetype.7 => /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.7 204:-lfreetype.8 => /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.8 Evolution 1.0.1 builds and runs just fine for me. I will admit I just rebuilt all my GNOME ports recently to work around some other problems. However, freetype2 never gave me any direct problems as far as I can tell. > > Got a newbie-type question too: It seems that binary upgrades can lead > to different version of the same program being installed, and I assume > this is even more the case doing a Release upgrade, say from 4.3 to 4.4. > I use ports and portupgrade to keep programs current, but what about > system files?

This involves rebuilding the OS every so often. For me, it's usually once per week. The handbook is a great source of knowledge on this subject: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/current-stable.html "make world" is the best way to update the OS provided you're familiar with all the steps.
