Re: Confused, in need of direction

Well, I reinstalled 7.99.66 from scratch, installed pkgsrc, did a “cvs update -dPA” then tried building meta-pkgs/xfce4 and got this error:

gmake[3]: Entering directory '/usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/libnotify/work/libnotify-0.7.6/libnotify'

Tried the PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=“-introspection” in mk.conf and got the same results.

May no longer be confused, but I’m certainly stuck.
