Exactly?
I already tried this and then it simply found another dependency
that needed hacking also. There could be heaps.
Plus: At first I pkg_delete'd the freetype-lib-1.3.1 and installed
freetype-lib-1.2 so as to install gnome. (ps i don't even want to run
gnome I just want some gnome apps to run) Then before installing
gnome I ran my beloved gv to check if it still worked with the new
(actually older) freetype-lib. But it DIDN'T work anymore. It was
broken.
Perhaps if the whole install procedure ran with freetype-lib-1.2
hacked into the pkg, then it might work, rather than just ripping
out the 1.3.1 and installing the freetype-lib-1.2 on it's own. I will
try this tomorrow perhaps when I get a spare heap of time so I can
hack ALL the dependent packages.
But I have my doubts as to if it would work.
Isn't there a better way? How come broken packages exist
in the formal release??? I am new to netbsd and so far I've
thought it terrific!!!, but this is kind of odd.
any other suggestions appreciated,
Paul.
