Description Jason Bacon 2005-08-02 01:20:15 UTC 
	When building firefox 1.0.6 or thunderbird 1.0.6 following a ports
	tree update, the build fails if certain prerequisite packages
	are out of date.  Most are recognized properly, and instructions
	are given to update them before proceeding.  However, libIDL is
	not built as a prerequisite, and the build of firefox or thunderbird
	will fail citing the wrong version of libglib (which was updated as
	a prerequisite), referenced by libIDL, which still has the old 
	version installed.

Fix: 

After ports tree update:

	cd /usr/ports/devel/libIDL
	make deinstall
	make reinstall
How-To-Repeat: 	Update ports tree, cd /usr/ports/mail/thunderbird or 
	cd /usr/ports/www/firefox, make install.

They already do.  If your ports tree is up-to-date, it would have been installed 
for you automatically.
