hello,

I am trying to install openoffice on a fresh freebsd 7.0 install with 
kde, apache, and mysql among others already installed.

I installed my ports collection a few days ago.

  make of openoffice.org-2-RC fails with the following error:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgio-2.0
gmake: *** [libgiofam.la] Error 1

I have tried a make directly in /usr/ports/devel/gio-fam-backend and get 
the same error.

A ls of gio-fam-backend/ work has a gio directory returns:
configure_done.gio-fam-backend._usr_local 
.patch_done.gio-fam-backend._usr_local
.extract_done.gio-fam-backend._usr_local        glib-2.16.3

A ls -F of glib-2.16.3 returns in part:


gio/
gio-2.0-uninstalled.pc
gio-2.0-uninstalled.pc.in
gio-2.0.pc
gio-unix-2.0-uninstalled.pc
gio-unix-2.0-uninstalled.pc.in
gio-unix-2.0.pc
gio-unix-2.0.pc.in

I searched the freebsd-gnome Archives for "gio" and "gio fam' and did 
not find any reference to this problem. A google also did not return 
anything usefull.

I have looked at the makefile but I am unable to find how it needs to be 
modified to correct this error.

thank you for any help you can give in working around this problem.
