Hi,
I am currently using FreeBSD 6.2 RELEASE and I am trying to install 
gnome2-office via the ports collection.  It goes well until:

    *

    *
gmake[2]: Entering directory 
`/usr/ports/databases/libgda3/work/libgda-1.9.102/doc/C'

gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

      They install files into the same place.

      Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).

   ...so I:

root# pkg_delete libgda2-1.2.4_1,1
pkg_delete: package 'libgda2-1.2.4_1,1' is required by these other packages
and may not be deinstalled:

***

    ...so I then try:
root# make install clean

I am new to the subtle inner workings of FreeBSD.  Could anyone please 
advise, suggest, or at least comment on how I should proceed?  It seems that 
I can't install the new libgda unless I delete the old one, but I am 
prevented from deleting the old one because at least three other programs 
are dependent upon it.

(As an aside, is it okay to run these installations from a terminal window 
from inside the Gnome GUI environment, or should I be outside of Gnome 
altogether when I do program installations/upgrades?)

Thanks,
Larry
