In this case, I would usually just use my standard sup-file after deleting the /usr/ports (entirely) # rm -rf /usr/ports Then run the cvsup which would grap the latest ports too. Then be sure to run # make index ...to make sure all is correct. Now try your "world" update again.... If that didn't clear up the make/installworld, I'd delete /usr/src and /usr/obj, then cvsup again.... ought to fix things..... Best regards, Jack L.
