i've had a good couple of problems installing ports, either because of compilation issues, or because they were just not there. is there something i am missing? zB, i need to install stlport, and a quick search on www.freshports.org shows that it should be as easy as pkg_add -r stlport-gcc when i try that, however, it fails real quick with a 'unable to fetch' error. it is not alone in this, some port packages work. some not. when that fails, i typically go into the relevant /usr/ports/ directory and go through the make process. but for a port whose package failed, more often than not the make process fails too. am i missing something? i regularly update everything with portupgrade -arR and with cvsup. (on that note - portversion -l "<" tells me that openoffice is behind, but when i try to portupgrade it also fails...) any suggestions? -- craig@small-pla.net
