Hi Andrey,

Sorry for my late response, I didn't check the freebsd mailing list well 
enough.

At this moment I'm unable to upgrade gnome-commander to the version with 
the patch. The configure script exits with the error:
...
checking lex library... -lfl
checking whether yytext is a pointer... yes
./configure: 6479: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to scjamorim at bsd.com.br [maintainer] and attach 
the
"/usr/ports/x11-fm/gnome-commander2/work/gnome-commander-1.2.8.1/config.log"
including the output of the failure of your make command. Also, it might 
be
a good idea to provide an overview of all packages installed on your 
system
(e.g. an `ls /var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/x11-fm/gnome-commander2.
** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa

I'll send the output to the port maintainer, but perhaps you have an idea 
what causes this problem.

Thanks and regards,

Marco
