Both install include/gif_lib.h but the associated libraries have different names. If you have both installed, the most most recently installed will select which include/gif_lib.h is used but the library used will depend on the whims of the port's configuration tools. >is they're very similar, so it didn't cause problems.

It's very unfortunate that the ports depending on libungif weren't all cleaned up before the conflict was added. The current situation is a mess and, for many people, requires manual intervention to make the ports system work. -- Peter Jeremy
