im compiling kde from the ports for about the hundreth time and something always goes wrong this time its more simple than most but i can't seem to find what im looking for. It attempted to fetch a library called tiff.4 in several places and found nothing. It asked me to find it and ive been looking all over google and got nothing. Does anybody know where i can find this library? Thanx, Max

If this doesn't fix things for you, you'll need to follow up with the actual errors you're seeing. In future, problems with ports should be discussed on the freebsd-ports mailing list.

Try mailing kde-freebsd@freebsd.kde.org, you are more likely to get help over there.

If its really getting tough and there seems no end in sight try a "portupgrade -kfa" which I have always assumed stands for (along with the old doom cheat codes) "Kick F**ken Ass" :) Also try with the -p switch to create packages which might save some time on mass package nukes and retrys, or even a -O to ignore dependencies. Also if you get stuck on something small like tiff try just installing it as a package over the internet. pkg_add -r tiff to install a binary package of it, you could also do a -f on that to force it, which is something that should be considered to at the top of your list. I almost always have a good look through my /var/db/pkg before and after even the most ruthless portupgrade I usually find it remarkably clean.
