Unfortunately if you do not have X installed it won't even come as far as parsing the command line. The problem is that cvsup was changed to be dynamically linked by default, whereas it previously was statically linked for the package build. This means that since it was dynamically linked against the X libraries it now needs them to start, while before teh X libraries needed were always included in the executable. Changing it to be dynamically linked by default was probably a bad idea. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
