Poppler and xpdf conflict with each other in some executable names.

However, evince and gimp2 depend on poppler (so it needs to be there) and I use xpdf all the time (so I need it). How does one get around this problem?

xpdf has a variant for this case

port install xpdf +with_poppler

Thank you very much, that does it nicely. Stefan
