Michael, can you, please, submit a patch updating the existing port with better instructions for finding the distfile(s)? However, my attempts to get this new port to work uncovered the problem reported by Jean-Yves back _in June_. The gdk-pixbuf.loaders and the pango.modules installed by linux-gtk2 are empty: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/68124 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/68133 This renders the installed ports inoperable (gtk can't load any images, for example). On Sep 2 the PRs entered the never-never "feedback" state to get maintainer's approval. A month later, the ports should be fixed by someone else (portmgr?) due to maintainer's timeout. -mi
