Hi all,
In the process to compile gnome 2.28 from ports on Freebsd 8.0 i386. System was installed from the dvd, ports installed with portsnap fetch/extract on ftp server. X11 went without a glitch. Trying the compilation of gnome2 in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2.

Compilation went OK till it reached libgphoto2 where it stops saying "libgphoto2 requires libltdl but cannot compile and link against it"

libltdl seems installed OK, I'm a bit in the dark here, I didn't find any valuable info so far.

Newbie, Newbie....

Cheers
 
I don't understand it is so tricky and so random...
After libgphoto2, I had trouble with libxul, gnome-applet and now webkit. When I make clean and rerun I got an error on a requested range not satisfiable then stop on error, I tried several times even rebooted (wtf!) tried again and now it seems alright and keeps going on the gnome2 compile.

I have been on this for about three days now, though the first times I was using a full install and ran into problem when it wanted to update the doc so now I use a minimal install and try to keep things simple.

No offence to anyone here ;), nobody's fault, probably my non-experience, I'm following the handbook, but I start to be on the frustrated side! Just hope to go through all of it, I can't imagine what can happen when upgrading though...

Cheers all
 
I start to wonder if things are not related to this :
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-June/008724.html
I have p5Q pro as well, and some packages stop due to bad md5 sum or sha sum

I tried to ssh into the box and get this fairly quickly:
Bad packet length 1668247069.
Disconnecting: Packet corrupt

it says in the link that disabling rxcsum tend to make things a tad more stable, how can I do this?

While I'm here, since I did a very minimal install, I didn't put the man pages, my mistake, what is the best way to install them, sysinstall?

Cheers
 
Well completed the install of gnome, started to compile firefox, seg faults and freeze. Reboot, clean and compile again followed by a page fault/panic and hang. I give up. Thank you guys anyway

Cheers ;)
