Hi,

How can I see which ports depend on
libgmp-4.1.4_1?

If I upgrade it, the applications that are using
the old libgmp would be affected?

Thanks...

Efren Bravo.

If you go into /var/db/pkg/libgmp-4.1.4_1 you'll see a file called
+REQUIRED_BY. Read it (cat "+REQUIRED_BY") to see which ports require libgmp.

You usually do not have to rebuild those ports unless there was a major change
in the library. It's up to you to know if you need to rebuild them or not.
