I think this happens because in your situation firefox 3.6 would end up linking against FF 3.5 libraries. Perhaps you could setup a build environment in a jail, make a package for it and then just remove FF 3.5 and intall the 3.6 package. -- Guido Falsi <m...@madpilot.net> _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
