The problem is that if you do portinstall from nothing (or incompletely deinstalled ports), gal will fail due to libglade missing. The way that portinstall works it tries to build gal but since gal does not include libglade as a LIB_DEPENDS, then it fails in the middle of the configure script. gtkhtml suffers from exactly the same problem. However you say it, it is an error for gal not to include libglade as a dependency. /Joe >Joe > > > >>>This is imported from bonobo which is imported from libgda which is >>>imported from gnomedb which is imported from libglade which is imported by >>>gal (six degrees of GNOME).
