Problem during installation of gnome2 from ports

[Peter Belew]

I installed the 64-bit FreeBSD 8.2 on a Compaq Presario system
(originally sold as "Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005),
and encountered problems installing gnome2 from ports, the most recent
involving gstreamer-plugins-base. Here's the basic sequence of what I
did:

This problem occurred after I

- Downloaded FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso on 13 March 2011
- Installed FreeBSD on the Compaq (getting all packages from the
FreeBSD web site).
-Tried to install gnome2 from packages using sysinstall and failed -
many packages seemed to be missing.
- Was left with broken gnome
- Used cvsup to update ports
- Successfully installed apache22, php, and mysql from ports
- Created a web site which works so far
- Installed keyboard, mouse, and vesa drivers from ports
- Had minimal gnome working after the drivers were installed
- Then tried to install gnome2 from ports to get full gnome apps/utilities
- encountered conflicts with gstreamer-plugins-base versions

I've attached files showing the error messages and a list of installed packages

screen1.txt shows the error messages on my screen when the
installation failed, including the request to contact you.

Then there is /usr/ports/sysutils/gstreamer-plugins-hal/work/gst-plugins-good-0.10.27/config.log

Then the list of packages installed on the system, as requested.

Thank you,

- Peter L. Belew
