I moved all the packages in /usr/ports/packages/All out of the way I run sudo nice portupgrade -fRp gimp it rebuilt 50 something out of 69 dependencies. It failed on gtk2, which I rebuilt by hand (portupgrade -fp gtk-2) . I then rebuilt by hand the remaining ports that seemed libraries and related to gimp (i.e., no point rebuilding firefox). after this, i upgraded gimp with NO problem at all :) thnks for the pointer! (I was sure I had rebuild everything when the libtool change had happened...obviously not) Beto ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

No, the xorg-libraries port installs /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so. No libtool library description file (.la) should be needed. You seem to have been missing the point, so I'll boil it down: You *do* need libXcursor. You do *not* need the libXcursor *port*, because xorg-libraries will install the Xcursor library. You should *not* need libXcursor.la, because gimp should need it to link against libXcursor.so. Try removing the libtool ports, rebuilding xorg-libraries and anything else in the dependency path from it to gimp, and gimp should rebuild fine. You didn't mention houw you were trying to do your upgrade, or what vintage your other ports were, so this is probably the most complete advice we can give on the information you have provided. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm trying now by using pkgtools.conf to replace xproto and xextensions with xorglibraries if I knew how to create a .la file, then libXcursor could be replaced too by xorglibraries... am I right in my understanding that libXcursor / xproto / libXau / xextensions and others are the XFree86 (and therefore older) equivalents of xorg-libraries? thanks :) Beto ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You shouldn't need to. It shouldn't need it. On my fairly stock -STABLE system with the latest xorg from the port, gimp links against libXcursor.so.1. Perhaps you have some other ports needing upgrading? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
How to create a .la file?
hi, trying to upgrade gimp from ports, the build process failed with: libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.la' libXcursor.la is usually provided by x11/libXcursor, but this port conflicts with xorg-libraries. xorg-libraries doesn't provide this file. how do I create it from the existing libXcursor.so|.a ? thanks in advance, Beto ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
