xfce4 port expat/p5-XML-Parser problem

[John Murphy]

FreeBSD-5.2.1 ports cvsupped yesterday, trying to make install xfce4:

Making all in opentype

/usr/ports/UPDATING seemed to suggest portupgrade -rf textproc/expat2
so I did that and got a libexpat.so.5 in /usr/local/lib which didn't help

ln -s libexpat.so.5 libexpat.so.4 in /usr/local/lib got it going again until:

Please report the problem to gnome at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the

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

Tried:

# pkg_add -r p5-XML-Parser
Fetching ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-5.2.1-release/Lat
est/p5-XML-Parser.tbz... Done.
pkg_add: warning: package 'p5-XML-Parser-2.34' requires 'expat-1.95.6_1', but 'e
xpat-1.95.7' is installed

Is there a way around this? Will a real libexpat.so.4 help perhaps?
How could I get it if so?

Thanks,
John.
