I'm running 7.0-release. I ran portsnap and then porsnap extract.
Then I cd'd to the firefox3 subdirectory and ran make. Make aborted with
the message that it could not find -lgio-2.0. I checked the Freebsd
ports tree and found gio-2.16. I downloaded it and ran make, but that
make aborted with the same message as the make of firefox3.
