I've just tried re-updating ports tree. i then did a pkg_tree for some
programs that failed to work i.e limewire & frostwire. I did pkg_delete -
fr for these and their dependancies cause i suspect the problem has
something to do with java.
I'm now compiling azureus again and it seems to be building properly. i
will have to wait and see. but please let me know if there is a easier
way to fix this - i have a similar problem but with my shell on another
pc.

i installed java but had to upgrade glib, for azureus to install.

Problem is now that it just seg faults if i try to start it. any help
please?

Probably pasting stacktrace using 'gdb' might help help. Please follow
the following steps to get the stacktrace:

1. Start gdb

$ gdb

2. Load the java.core core file using core-file.

(gdb) core-file java.core

3. Print backtrace

(gdb) bt

If you've not built your java with debug symbols, it'll be difficult
to figure out the exact location of the issue. BtW, I don't use java
or azureus on FreeBSD, so I'm not away of any such issue.

Clever use of pkg_delete with the -r and -R flags can get rid of a lot
of
mis-built or incorrectly linked stuff. (a more radical solution is to
rm
everything under /usr/local and /var/db/pkg and start again)

I would delete all the packages depending on glib and gtk, and if that
failed I would remove everything I didn't recognise as explicitly
needed
(like robotfindskitten or bash or sdd) followed by (if failed) the
whole of
/usr/local.

today i tried to install some games - and other stuff all complained that
i had the wrong version of glib. so i did a pkg_delete -f. i did a
sysinstall to try to put back the old version, but it did not work. i then
tried a 'upgrade' which removed my kernel - the system would not load and
i did not know how to fix it. the mount points were all rubbed out.
i had no choice but to erase my disk and start again.
Nearly 1 months work of configuring down the drain - all for a lousy p2p
program that i never got to worked anyways.

You might want to learn how to write/use sh, sed, and awk scripts to
do your system configuration. Put everything into one large file and burn it
onto a CD for disasters like this. Using this method, it takes about
a minute to configure a system -- as fast as you can load a CD into the
system CD/DVD drive, mount it, and run the configuration script file.

Hey, we all did things like that, until we learned to work smarter, not
harder.
