Ted no longer worked due to some png conflict. (I forgot to save the error message.) So I tried to install via pkgsrc (no binary package is available).

gcc -I/usr/pkg/pkgsrc/editors/ted/work/.buildlink/include -O2            -I/usr/X11R6/include            -I/usr/X11R6/include            -I/usr/pkg/include     -I/usr/include           -I/usr/pkg/include              -I/usr/pkg/include     -I../include             -I. -I../appUtil -I/usr/pkg/pkgsrc/editors/ted/work/.buildlink/include  -c bmpng.c
bmpng.c: In function `bmReadPngFile':
bmpng.c:175: incompatible type for argument 1 of `png_info_init'
bmpng.c: In function `bmPngReadPng':
bmpng.c:237: incompatible type for argument 1 of `png_info_init'
*** Error code 1

I have two png's installed: png-1.0.8 and png-1.0.11. They both report different files required by it. When I tried to pkg_delete the old one, it listed all the packages that also required png-1.0.11. So I deleted png-1.0.8 with -f switch.

Now building Ted stopped with:

gcc -I/usr/pkg/pkgsrc/editors/ted/work/.buildlink/include -O2            -I/usr/X11R6/include            -I/usr/X11R6/include                            -I/usr/include          -I/usr/pkg/include              -I/usr/pkg/include             -I../include             -I. -I../appUtil -I/usr/pkg/pkgsrc/editors/ted/work/.buildlink/include  -c bmpng.c
bmpng.c:5: png.h: No such file or directory

/usr/pkg/include/png.h is now missing. And shared object "libpng.so.1" is not found by xv. (/usr/pkg/lib/libpng.so.2.0 is still installed.) So I need to reinstall png-1.0.11.

make TARGET=bin-install update
===> Deinstalling for png-1.0.12
Running PKG_DBDIR=/var/db/pkg /usr/sbin/pkg_delete -r png-1.0.11

So this removed all packages depending on this. Ouch! This is going to take a while. I should have just forced a new installation of it. (Started around 10:00 a.m. and it finished at 11:09.) This built a new version of LyX and re-installed a lot of software. (The next day, I noticed that gnumeric wasn't installed.)

Then I tried to build Ted again. I was getting a lot of messages like:

config.h:45: warning: `PKGDIR' redefined
*Initialization*:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

So I did a make clean first. Well, it had same warning as before. ted-2.10 (Ted) successfully installed. Hopefully, it will more stable than the previous Ted installation -- which sometimes crashed and brought Blackbox down with it.

xv (xv-3.10apl1) still didn't work. It was built with -lpng.1 (png-1.0.6). So I deleted it and installed it (xv-3.10anb1) again. But it still had the "Shared object "libpng.so.1" not found" problem. So I decided to build xv from source. It used /usr/pkg/lib/libpng.so.2 and it worked!
