Here's the output of 'uname -a': 'FreeBSD 4.3-Release FreeBSD 4.3-Release #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT 2001.' My question is: is there anything I need to do besides installing the ports collection and typing "make build" in the given directory to compile the given port? After reading the handbook that's all it appears I need to do; however I get this error messege, for example, after typing "make build": '>>greed-3.3.tar.gz doesnt seem to exist in /usr/ports/distfiles/.' After looking in /usr/ports/distfiles/ on my own, I found this statement is true. In addition to the above messege I also recieve this one 5 or 6 times: 'Stop in /usr/ports/games/greed *** Error code 1' This is only an example, the results are the same with each port.
