Hi Dan,
have you looked at /usr/ports/UPDATING after you have
updated your ports tree?
I had a lot of problems with this too because I didn't
read that file. However, this info helped me (from
/usr/ports/UPDATING):
20061014:
AFFECTS: All GTK+2 and GNOME users
AUTHOR: gnome@xxxxxxxxxxx
GNOME has been updated to 2.16. All GTK+2 and GNOME
components have
been moved from X11BASE (/usr/X11R6) to LOCALBASE
(/usr/local). To
upgrade your GNOME desktop or/and other applications
you will need
to use either sysutils/portupgrade or
sysutils/portmaster. To use
portmaster, make sure you have least 1.9 version to
have the
upgrade succeed.
Portupgrade users:
pkgdb -Ff
portupgrade -rf pkg-config\*

freebsd 6.1
xorg 6.9
Hey, I have gnome 2.12
trying to upgrade to 2.16
i tried everything from pkg_add (obviously deleting
the old one first)
to portmanager
to portinstall
to port upgrade
and building it from the ports tree..
things fail.... one major problem I was having was
gail... but i think
I
have beaten that because now i get another error, cant
remember it at
the moment
but its irrelevant. I have broken my current gnome
installation...
when i startx... it will load all my panels, and any
app will run fine,
but the *desktop* its self is missing, including the
background image.
If i go into Desktop Background, it will load, but
still I cant right
click on the desktop, and there are no icons, and no
way to add them
(they are however still listed in my
usr/home/dan/Desktop )
I've managed to break all kinds of things, Realplyer
wont work now,
because I unistalled my old linux base with portmaster
for example..... does anybody know of a good way to
WIPE gnome, and
rebuild it and its Dependant ports from the ground up?
I dont want to re-install my freebsd, as Ive worked
very hard to get
everything from my M-audio sound card, my custom
kernel, and
giant fat32 drives, to my apache server etc etc etc,
im sure you are
all
in the same boat if you are using freebsd
thanks
