freebsd-questions:

I am attempting to build a desktop machine using FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE 
(GENERIC) and am having trouble building firefox3:

If I understand the above, the linker is unable to find the file 
gio-2.0.  STFW I found something similar:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-May/048813.html

But I don't understand the answer:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2008-May/048814.html

and I don't know if it is applicable -- I have been attempting KDE, not 
Gnome.  But, I'll use any desktop that supports Firefox, Thunderbird, 
and Open Office.


Any suggestions?
