firefox problem

R

roelof

Hello,

I have a standard install of FreeBSD 8. When I do pkg_add -r firefox I get Firefox 3.6. So I use /usr/ports/www/firefox and saw that it installed Firefox 5.

The installation did succeed but when I do [CMD=""]firefox[/CMD] I still get Firefox 3.6

What is going wrong here ?

Try
[cmd=""]pkg_info | grep firefox[/cmd]

Then pkg_delete every installation that belongs to Firefox 3.6 (probably everything that ends with 3.6.18).

Newbie here too, I have the exact same problem. I tried this yesterday (3.6.13,1 here) and I got
Code: 
couldn't entirely delete package
along with a few
Code: 
unable to completely remove directory...
messages.

I first tried to compile 5.whatever but got a
Code: 
gnome-config: not found
error code, and it mentions something about cario-tee library requirement not being met but I can't find it in the ports collection to install it (tried searching using methods mentioned in handbook).

Retired to using pkg_add. going beyond the scope of this thread I know, but tried installing the java and flash but didn't work (java didn't even show up in about:plugins, youtube tells me my flash player needs upgrading).. not tried troubleshooting these yet though.

Ports are up to date.
