The -devel suffix (or just -dev) is often used with a debug release, and (or) it specifies that all the include headers are installed, not just the binaries. As VTK is a library (not an application, per se), the -dev suffix is sort-of "implied" (virtually mandatory). Note that Debian use the names "libvtk-*" to be explicit that VTK is a library, but this is not the case in FreeBSD. Perhaps there could be a "dev" or "testing" variant of vtk for the current CVS checkout? Given that 5.4.0 is the latest "stable" release, it should not get a -dev suffix. I'm clueless about the @ syntax for version specificity; maybe that will work. Take care, Darren
