Almost all ports installed when I want librsvg installed

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

Hello!

I wanted to install librsvg to be able to use again GNU Emacs 23.1.90. The command 'port install librsvg' in Porticus led to fetching, compiling, and installing of these:

When it started to install the first database I killed Porticus.

'port deps librsvg' shows only: libcroco, libgsf, libart_lgpl, libxml2; what are the others good for? To electrically heat my flat by keeping the CPU busy and happy hereof?

Replying to Peter_Dyballa@…:

'port deps librsvg' shows only: libcroco, libgsf, libart_lgpl, libxml2; what are the others good for? To electrically heat my flat by keeping the CPU busy and happy hereof?

'port deps' only lists the direct dependencies, but each of those also has dependencies of their own; libcroco and libgsf bring in quite a bit due to their use of various gnome bits. You can use ​port-rdeps to see a recursive list of dependencies. Also see the ​FAQ entry about MacPorts using its own bits when possible.
