Yup, see my previous reply: I wasn't updating the X11 ports
in my
supfile. But, this brings up another issue...
Thanks for the tip about portmanager. However, I use usually
execute
make directly. In fact, what I *like* do is something like
"make |
tee logfile.txt" so I can go back and inspect the
output. But a
number of ports execute a gtk(?)-based config that displays
full-screen. When using tee (or, of course, redirecting
output
via >), it's next to impossible to navigate around the
config screen
in my term.
Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Is there a way to
get them
to use a traditional configure dialog that presents one
option at a time?
(I was baffled the first time one of these screens popped
up. It just
seems so antithetical to the whole compiling from source
thing,
y'know? Like gourmet cooking in a microwave or
something...)
