This has now been done. I've submitted an update to the port that uses a start script to check for the existence of the Resources directory in ~/.mulberry and symlinks to the files if it doesn't exist. I also submitted a second PR that adds url.helper and mailcap files to provide some defaults for attachment and url handling. Hopefully they will meet with the maintainer's approval and the port will be accepted shortly.

I'm working on an update to the port, which I will submit to the maintainer. In the meantime, the problem is that you need to have the xml files in the Resources directory in a directory of the same name under your ~/.mulberry directory, but it's not created when you initiate Mulberry for the first time. You can easily correct this by creating a symlink: ls -s /usr/local/lib/mulberry/Resources/ ~/.mulberry/ That will solve your problem.

When you launch mulberry for the first time, it will create the ~/.mulberry directory as well as the Plugins and Calendar and other subdirectories that are needed for *your* customized version of mulberry, but the Resources directory is *not* created. That's why you're missing the text. In order to make a generic installer, the port has to place all those directories in a central location, but you must create a symling to Resources *or* just copy all the files to your own ~/.mulberry/Resources/ directory. That's the *correct* way to do it. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Paul Schmehl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Adjunct Information Security Officer The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/
