Will using only dolphin be too much overhead?

[Dorien Herremans]

Hello,

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm trying to install kde4-baseapps, but I'm having some trouble:

--->  Fetching archive for gtk3

Error: Failed to archivefetch gtk3: gdk-pixbuf2 must be installed with +x11.

Error: See
/opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_gnome_gtk3/gtk3/main.log
for details.

Error: Follow https://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets to report a bug.

Error: Processing of port kde4-baseapps failed

I've already tried: sudo port selfupdate

Anything else I should be aware of?


Thanks!

Dorien
