[SNIP] As I explained, "Ports that depend on XFree86 only do so in the event
that you have not installed Apple X11." To take your example of pango, look at how the dependency is defined in the pango portfile:
depends_lib \ ... lib:libX11.6:XFree86 \
That means: it depends on the library libX11.6, and if that library does not exist, then install it via the XFree86 port. libX11.6 will already exist on your system if Apple X11 is installed, therefore the XFree86 port will not be installed.
Hmm ... ok, I must have done something without realizing it or basing off of my Tiger documentation because I have the X11 app and I could swear that I installed the X11 headers from the Leopard Server DVD. Thanks again for reinforcing this. -T.M.
