Basically my question is how do I get the port to install without
having to remove then old package and dependencies first?
I'm trying to build pidgin out of the ports tree.

Tried: set env FORCE_PKG_REGISTER
Tried: make install FORCE_PKG_REGISTER

Sorry for my newbie question and thanks in advance


# cd /usr/ports/graphics/cairo
# make install
