hello,
I've recently updated my ports collection using portsnap, and have attempted to install the first web browser I have ever installed in FreeBSD, Firefox 2.0, from the ports collection.
During a make install clean, the installation fails, reporting error code 1. A long winded message tells me to use a program called "gnomelogalyzer" to analyze the output of the failed installation, yet I cannot seem to install this "gnomelogalyzer" either.
pkg_add -r gnomelogalyzer
fails telling me that it cannot find the file on the FreeBSD FTP server.
pkg_add gnomelogalyzer
fails telling me "can't stat package file".
Regardless, I do not have the GNOME window manager installed (and I never have), so that probably explains why this file does not exist. I currently have Fluxbox installed, yet I don't see how it would relate to this problem, I would think you could install Firefox regardless of what window manager you are using.
I am using FreeBSD 7.1 RELEASE, and the error is shown while installing Firefox 2. Could anyone please tell me what is causing this error, and how I can resolve it?
A similar error occured while attempting to install the Opera web browser from ports. If I could solve this error perhaps I can also install Opera, but for the time being, the focus is on installing Firefox, just so that I could get something to browse the web and easier solve further problems. It's much easier to solve a problem using the machine where the problem is occuring, constantly hopping between machines is not very fun.
