Ok so here's the first

joshuamacfie$ ls -l /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  admin  0 Jul  9 04:20 /opt/local/lib/libgtk- 
x11-2.0.dylib ->

Does this mean it pints to itself?

and the second

joshuamacfie$ port provides /opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib
/opt/local/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib is a directory.

Does not give me a port name just says its a directory. Or should I  
try to reinstall libgtk-x11-2.0.dylib
