</div>I want to know where you got -0.98 because what the package manager<br>
offered to me was -0.86. I have done nothing to alter what package<br>
repository is in use; the upper-right combobox claims only that it is<br>
"<a href="http://opensolaris.org" target="_blank">opensolaris.org</a>" and it offers no mechanism I can find to change that.</blockquote><div><br>My guess is that the update to -0.98 came with the image-upgrade that I ran from the command-line, or from syncing against the repository. I'm not completely certain about that, but I also have everything else just the way you describe yours. They're the only things I can think of. The Package Manager spent around 16 hours thinking about upgrading the system, so I closed it, went to the command line, and used the pkg command to do the system upgrade. After that, the Package Manager has been fine.<br>

<br>
It is a certainty that [a] I have SUNWxorg-headers installed and [b] I<br>
do not have xrender.pc, therefore I still cannot configure GS.<br>
<br>
How do you know for certain that xrender.pc comes from that package? In<br>
an RPM world, I would "rpm -qf /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xrender.pc" to query<br>
the filename for the package in which it arrived. How does one do that<br>
in Solaris?</blockquote><div><br>I'm not completely certain - when you look in Package Manager, you can see a list of files that come with a package. Alternatively, the various pkg command-line tools might give you similar information that you're looking for. xrender.pc was not listed in xorg-headers, but xrandr was, so I thought maybe it was a misspelling, installed xorg-headers, and now I have both xrandr.pc and xrender.pc installed. It was the only difference. I even installed GNU findutils so that I could be sure there was no xrender.pc installed before installing xorg-headers. So my only guess is that either the information in Package Manager is wrong, or some hidden dependency pulled it in.<br>
