gnome2 build failure

[Odhiambo WASHINGTON]

On another system, same version of OS, gnome install after I did portupgrade
-a dies like follows:

Do I have to wait for FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE for this as well? :-)

Anyway, I am building my 7.0-RELEASE system already, so I guess I will run
gnome there if you believe I will have a breeze installing:-)
