Maybe there are some software related factors there, too (qt isn't generally more sensitive to typical scenarios of ports-based installations being inconsistent in a way that makes stuff break - like the mixed threads libraries example. The difference is, qt very often just fails in a rather undescriptive way, and as it seems, way more often in some places than others (uic)). However, qt does not randomly fail on the package builders - and packages are an excellent way to avoid the compilation stress. :) BTW: A new qt version has been released yesterday... I'm already busy porting it. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi_at_freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
