If you deleted your distfiles, or close with make distclean you will have to download them anew, sadly. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'd suggest doing a pkg_info -R gettext\* and saving the resulting list of dependencies, so you'll have an easy reference.

If so, you could have the distfiles directory on one machine and mount it on the other via NFS, thereby avoiding the need to download to each machine separately. One box is more of a server and the other functions primarily as my FreeBSD desktop machine which also runs Suse Linux and XP operating systems. Hoping to learn something with this setup. Will need to look into your suggestion of sharing a distfile directory. This particular issue with expat caught me by surprise. I upgraded expat2 last week and wasn't aware of any problem but did run into an unexpected problem with the gnome desktop which hasn't been resolved yet. Maybe expat2 was involved.
