It fails also, thus my message. And no, I haven't cvsup'ed at all - this is after an install of 4.1 from the cd, or over ftp (can't remember which at the moment). Since then I've only installed packages and ports... Anyway, I'm trying make buildworld at the moment just to see. It shouldn't be necessary on a virgin system, but what else can I try? Steve K.
