Tried that.., didn't work.

Tried that.., didn't work. For what its worth, since my latest try, I've installed openh323 and pwlib, make install in /usr/ports/x11/gnome2 still fails with the error about ptlib in gnomemeeting.

See above.., fails.

Is it not possible to wipe gnome2 off the system and then do a fresh install of the thing? Or am I going to simply hit this same problem again? This is what I'm trying to do at the moment, and some guidance on this point would be handy.

If I need to, I'll gladly even reinstall this sucker,, but I'd like to know the prospects from before hand of successfully being able to build gnome-2 at the end of the day, that's all.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, all the same.
