Thanks for all your help guys, but I'm not getting far.

None of this explains why it doesn't link to the correct
libs when built from pkg_src?

I don't want to build gnumeric from source by hand.
???


Ok, what I want to do is delete all packages.
And start again.

How do I do this please?

. can't find a flag for this in pkg_delete

. How can I get pkg_info to show pkg names only
without the description so I can pipe it to pkg_delete?


thanks,
Paul.
