Re: updating xorg-libraries 7.2 to 7.2.1
xorg 7.2 was installed on this system from scratch, ie no ports to start with. Creating the /usr/X11R6 - /usr/local symlink is necessary, even on a system with xorg 7.2 installed from scratch. The presence of that symlink will stop the xorg-libraries port whinging at you. I did a clean (re)install of current and upgraded to gcc 4.2 and then installed xorg 7.1 and kdebase afterwards. I did not encounter any problems running X, I haven't symlinked /usr/X11R6 to /usr/local. I havent's ssh into the machine from outside though but X appears to work locally. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.
