For the last week I have been trying to upgrade 2 already configure and running 3.2-RELEASE servers to 3.4-STABLE since when I try to install something from the ports I get the following error: ===> apache-1.3.12 : Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk. You need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the instructions. I already try cvsuping the ports-supfile and that did not work. That's why I'm trying to go with 3.4-STABLE or the most stable freebsd version. I'm following all the directions on the http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/stable.html web page and everything on the http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/makeworld.html This are exactly the steps I'm taking to upgrade the machine (in case I'm misunderstanding something after reading the instruction. 1): cd /usr/share/examples/cvsup ; cvsup -g -L 2 stable-supfile (stable-supfile file) *default host=cvsup5.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_3 *default delete use-rel-suffix src-all src-crypto src-eBones src-secure 2): cd /usr/obj ; chflags -R noschg * ; rm -rf * 3): cd /usr/src ; make buildworld (/etc/make.conf file) NOPROFILE= true COPTFLAGS= -O -pipe USA_RESIDENT= YES FORCE_PKG_REGISTER= YES and while running the make buildworld is where I get the following error: ===> share/doc/usd/13.viref sed -e\ 's:\(\.so[\ \ ][\ ]*\)\(vi.ref\)$:\1/usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/../../../../contrib/nvi/ docs/USD.doc/vi.ref/\2:' -e\ 's:\(\.so[\ \ ][\ ]*\)\(ex.cmd.roff\)$:\1/usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/../../../../contrib /nvi/docs/USD.doc/vi.ref/\2:' -e\ 's:\(\.so[\ \ ][\ ]*\)\(ref.so\)$:\1/usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/../../../../contrib/nvi/ docs/USD.doc/vi.ref/\2:' -e\ 's:\(\.so[\ \ ][\ ]*\)\(set.opt.roff\)$:\1/usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/../../../../contri b/nvi/docs/USD.doc/vi.ref/\2:' -e\ 's:\(\.so[\ \ ][\ ]*\)\(vi.cmd.roff\)$:\1/usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/../../../../contrib /nvi/docs/USD.doc/vi.ref/\2:' -e 's:^\.so index.so$::' /usr/src/share/doc/usd/13.viref/../../../../contrib/nvi/docs/USD.doc/vi.ref/ vi.ref | groff -mtty-char -Tascii -t -s -me -o1- > /dev/null troff: fatal error: can't find macro file safer *** Error code 1 Stop. ANY body knows why? or what do I have to do to make this work? I did notice that the " troff: fatal error: can't find macro file safer " error started here: ===> share/doc/psd/title touch _stamp.extraobjs (cd /usr/src/share/doc/psd/title; groff -mtty-char -Tascii -ms -o1- /usr/src/share/doc/psd/title/Title) | gzip -cn > Title.ascii.gz troff: fatal error: can't find macro file safer PLEASE if any can give me any input on the problem I will appreciate it so much, I need to get this 2 servers up and running ASAP.
