It says cvsup-16.1h already installed. try 'pkg_info | grep -i cvsup' to see if you do have the program installed. and, as root, 'echo $PATH' > I am not sure what I am doing wrong in all this. > Can anyone spot what it is ? my first guess would be the 'rehash'. further guesses would depend upon what you get from pkg_info and $PATH. hth, epi > (I realise that I shouldnt normally be installing > from a port just after a package install, but that > was just because I was out of ideas) > > Thanks > Peter > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
