libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpng.so.5" not found, required by "gnome-session"

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear folks,

As I was trying to get out of the other mess that I got into.  See thread:

Attachment     Re: [ HEADS UP ] Ports unstable for the next 10 day

I have encountered thread subject.     i had kde, and kde could not
find it, so I removed KDE and then have added gnome both ways:

pkg_add -r gnome2
and
/usr/ports/......

and ran portmaster -a


and still have error message in Subject line.  I am wondering if I
shot myself in the foot.  I have had previous experience before with
FreeBSD 5.3 and FreeBSD 6.0, but those had KDE 3.5 series and none of
these errors popped up.    What should I do?  I am thinking about
reinstalling system?  I can't cure the illness that I have
encountered.

I checked via google and I found:

http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID15/3041.html

IT is in Russian, but I could follow it someway in the suggestions,
still no joy :(

Advice/Suggestions are welcome.  Should I just go with pulling the
trigger and reinstalling?

System is AMD64, 8.0-RELEASE-p2

Regards,

Antonio

P.S.  I feel bad about doing this, but I have tried for several days
to fix the issues.  I had a working desktop, but then ran the cvsup/?
command(suggested in the other thread) and fix the other issue and
made things worse could not log into KDE and then tried installing
GNOME to at least have a working desktop but not good.  I have two
other machines running FreeBSD 8.0 but no updates, I don't want to
screw up.  The ports used to work well, apparently now things are
different?
