If devel/fam is not installed nautilus configure will complain with the following message (but still work): checking for FAMOpen in -lfam... no configure: warning: *** FAM support will not be built (FAM library not found) Nautilus depends on FAM to provide notification when files are altered (either through filesystem polling, or a kernel notification mechanism). If Nautilus is built without FAM support, directories viewed with Nautilus will not remain in sync with the actual filesystem when they are altered by external processes. Particularly if you are a distributor please compile Nautilus with FAM support. FAM is available from http://oss.sgi.com/projects/fam/. A patch to add Linux Kernel 2.4 directory notify support to FAM (highly desirable) is available from http://people.redhat.com/alexl/files/ *** However if devel/fam happens to be installed on the system nautilus will link against it, but of course no package dependency will be recorded. Fix: Always link to and depend on devel/fam How-To-Repeat: 1. Install devel/fam 2. Install x11-fm/nautilus 3. Remove devel/fam See nautilus fail to run because of missing shared library
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports->gnome Over to maintainers.
State Changed From-To: open->closed This should be fixed now. Thanks for reporting.
