Unless you've been manually installing things into /opt:

I think you should uninstall all installed ports, clean them all completely, and then check what is left in /opt/local. Then reinstall all things that are left in /opt/local (and that you can identify as your additional installs and reinstall them in /usr/local. (To prevent unwanted references to leftovers in /opt/local you should rename /opt/local to something else before.) After installing all the other stuff you can remove the /opt/local stuff completely and start a fresh install. -- Piet van Oostrum <piet@cs.uu.nl> URL: http://www.cs.uu.nl/~piet [PGP 8DAE142BE17999C4] Private email: piet@vanoostrum.org
