I messed up, removed /usr/X11R6/lib
Hi. Apart from the obvious answer to use the backup, is there any way to get it all back in /usr/X11R6/lib after you did a 'rm -fr' to many? I have reinstalled the /usr/ports/x11/XFree86-4 port which I had hoped would pull back in all needed stuff. But, now X complains about some missing parts which I don't know where they come from. Anyone know how I can get it all back? The Errors: (EE) Failed to load module bitmap (module does not exist, 0) (EE) Failed to load module pcidata (module does not exist, 0) Where do I find them? /Andreas ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Those two come from the x11-server/XFree86-4-Server port, but there are *lots* of programs that install files under /usr/X11R6/lib - most programs that use X and install shared libraries put the libraries there, for example, so be prepared for more problems appearing. Restoring from backups sounds like a good idea. The other possibility is to reinstall all programs you have. Personally I would first get a list of all ports installed (using pkg_info(1), then delete all ports (using pkg_delete '*' and then install all wanted ports from scratch (after doing a rm -fr /usrX11R /usr/local to make sure no files were left.) This will take some time, so if you have good backups you should probably use them. It is of course not strictly necessary to reinstall all ports, just those who had files installed unser /usr/X11R6/lib, and you could probably get away by just doing a 'make reinstall' for each of them rather than deleting them first, but by deleting and installing all ports you minimize the risk for having problems with ports only having half of their files installed, or missing some port. -- Insert your favourite quote here.

Ok, XFree86-4-Server it was. X started working after I reinstalled that one. Thanks. I guess problems will appear later on, but at least X is working right now and KDE don't seem to be broken.

One, a package is created and stored in a subdirectory of /usr/ports/packages. Second, the port is installed on the local machine, if it hasn't already been installed. If you don't want to keep the application installed on the machine acting as the package repository, simply type make deinstall once the package has been created.
