Do you take any installation notes you would be willing to share? I have been trying to get Komodo working on my FreeBSD 6 box for several days. I installed the RH9 base from /usr/ports/linux_base-rh-9, but the port of linux-gtk2 fails. I even went so far as to break out my old RH9 CDs to install the RPMS from the CD, no luck though.

thanks,
John

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Komodo 3.5 (local) ..."
cd /home/kiffin/Komodo-3.5/bin
