Libraries

Well I've read about people having this problem in forums. They can't get stuff like firefox mplayer gio-fam-backend to compile through ports. This is pretty easy to fix, it's because FreeBSD 7.0 installs an old version of glib. It's relatively simple to correct just browse over to the glib20 folder
#cd /usr/ports/devel/glib20
#make deinstall
Now the old version is uninstalled and now all you have to do is install the new version.
#make install clean
Now you can compile till your little heart is content, now wasn't that easy?
