gnome after portmaster

Hi there

I installed Gnome from packages and after that I tried
Code:
# portmaster /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
It wasn't a good idea, after almost a day I got a new gnome with almost nothing working. No themes, no icons ... and a lot of error messages that I couldn't save it.

Now I don't know what to do.
1. Remove gnome (but I don't know how to do this) and installing again from packages?
2. Repair the actual installation but again I don't know where to start.

Any advice will help

thanks
 
installation:
cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2-lite/
make install clean
cd /usr/ports/x11/gdm
make install clean
----------------------------------------------
Add gnome_enable="Yes" to your /etc/rc.conf and reboot.
FreeBSD_gnome faq can help you set up everything with gnome.

I tried to install gnome2-lite/ and gives me something like this
Code:
===>  Checking if sysutils/gnome-settings-daemon already installed
===>   gnome-settings-daemon-2.22.2.1_1 is already installed
      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of sysutils/gnome-settings-da                                                                               emon
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/sysutils/gnome-settings-daemon.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/gnome-applets.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2-lite.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2-lite.
and then I tried

Code:
# cd /usr/ports/sysutils/gnome-settings-daemon/
# make deisntall
make: don't know how to make deisntall. Stop

I don't know what to do now ...

It is possible to uninstall or deinstall gnome and try again?

First of all: Check your spelling!

May help a lot! :p
 
Sorry guys. It was my mistake.

Anyway after make deinstall

make clean && make install clean

I tried again
Code:
# pkgdb -Ff
# portupgrade -f gstreamer-plugins-good
# pkg_deinstall -fO gnome-applets\* totem\* gnome-control-center\*
# portupgrade -aOW
after portupgrade -aOW my system entered in an endless :

Code:
=> Attempting to fetch from .... fedora/linux/core ...
fetch:  .... fedora/linux/core/4/RPMS/bash-3.0-31.i386.rpm: Not found

From hours is fetching for bash-3.0-31.i386.rpm on different locations and same messages: Not found or Unavailable.

any advices?

thanks
 
i think if you are running 7.0-release, you might be better off updating to stable (or rc1/beta2) through freebsd-update at this point , then install gnome using packages (with pkg_add -r gnome2 or portupgrade -NPP gnome2 after deinstall). maybe someone else can advice what they think.

re : bash....rpm, i had occasions where it took an hour or two to get these files, but check that you have updated ports tree, and check if you have the file in /usr/ports/distfiles and delete it from there before trying again.

In /usr/ports/distfiles/ I have a directory bash

Code:
ls /usr/ports/distfiles/bash/

Can I remove the whole directory and try again?

make clean && make install clean

# make clean install clean

Accomplishes the same effect, but with less typing and only one invocation of make.
make accepts multiple targets and the same target more than once.
