Hi everybody
After a fresh install and a portsnap fetch, extract and update, I came across the same as the person in this thread:
http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=13904
Basically gtk20 issues with dependencies being incompatible. I managed to get it sorted (more or less) by going through and reinstalling each dependency that was complaining.
I am now at "libpng.so5 not found" which means I can't use my Terminator terminal, although other gui apps seem ok.
After reading the above thread and the links provided by DutchDaemon to ports-mgmt/portmaster and ports-mgmt/portupgrade, I decided to post and ask advice.
I basically want to avoid this dependency problem in the future so I want learn some good practise now. Which of those two apps would be better, Portmaster or Portupgrade?
Before i continue installing new apps from ports, I would like to get libpng.so5 installed correctly and my ports collection stabilized.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
