How to solve the problems related to pulseaudio and gdm on FreeBSD 7.2

One of the solutions is to build gnome2 and
dependencies from ports, which some web sites
show. So I didn't install Gnome2 and dependencies
but Xorg and dependencies from DVD-R.

First I updated ports using portsnap.

# portsnap fetch
# portsnap extract

Second I installed Gnome2 and dependencies
from ports.

# cd /usr/ports/x11/gnome2
# make install clean

It required more than 10 hours and less than
24 hours and there were a lot of error messages
during building gnome2. I used pkg_add to deal
with the error messages relative to the installation
of some of the packages.

# pkg_add -r THE_PACKAGE_NAME

However, I didn't use pkg_add to install pulseaudio
and gdm. Please make sure that you install pulseaudio
and gdm from ports through building gnome2 and
dependencies.

Third the size of /usr I adopted was about 16GB
but it was not enough when I built jdk16 and
openoffice.org-3 after having built gnome2.
Therefore, I removed all files in /usr/ports/distfiles
when I built openoffice.org-3.

# cd /usr/ports/distfiles
# rm -rf *

Finally I will be happy to assist you in solving
the problems related to pulseaudio and gdm
on FreeBSD 7.2.
