if you have built a kernel prior to this ...you have to do "make clean" befor you do "make depend". this will clean out all the old dependancies..and rebuild to the config you just edited in /sys/i386/conf so if youve already built a kernel.. you do the following everytime you build from there on out. # cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf # /usr/sbin/config YOURKERNEL # cd ../../compile/YOURKERNEL # make clean # make depend # make # make install hope this helps Brent On Thu, 21 Mar 2002, Toomas Aas wrote: > Hello! > > I'm in a process of patching some 4.4-RELEASE machines for recent zlib > security advisory.
