Hello all I have a freshly installed FreeBSD 6.0 and try to install /usr/ports/mail/imp. /usr/ports/textproc/wv, part of the dependencies, fails: configure: error: * * * unable to find libwmf-config; unable to continue * * * libwmf is installed. libwmf-config is in /usr/local/bin. Right now I update the ports tree daily and try to install wv again but that doesn't seem to lead anywhere. portupgrade -raf is what I am doing at the moment - not likely it helps... Any ideas what I could try? Anybody seen this error before? I already sent this question to freebsd-ports (got told by the Makefile itself to do so) and to to comp.unix.freebsd.misc. But it starts getting urgent because this becomes the test-area for the replacement procedure of our (old!) IMAP- and Webmail-Server. The most annoying thing is that I did install IMP at least twice by now without having any compiling-trouble. And, even more, wv doesn't seem to be important for the goal I have to achieve with this installation. Regards Peter

At ftp.freebsd.org I got wv-1.0.0_4.tbz while the port wants to install wv-1.0.0_5 - a newer one. I wonder what I get from this... but it seems to continue compiling the other stuff now. For me it looks kind of strange that the port installs a newer version than the newest (?) package available. It's even more funny if just that port fails to compile... but I can hardly believe I really got a broken port this time and not just another stupid error of mine. Do you all know something I don't know? I did not yet read "UPDATING" since I do only installing, not updating. Regards Peter
