Sorry I didn't get a chance to reply yesterday. I now have the strace port installed but have hit a small problem (as mentioned by Joshua Tinnin). I'm not familiar with strace either and is the error I see: # strace portupgrade vim strace: open("/proc/...", ...): No such file or directory trouble opening proc file A man procfs, was informative, but I'm a bit lost now on how to proceed...

I got to step 5 and the problem was still happening: "you can always deinstall portupgrade and all the ruby stuff (run "pkg_delete -r ruby-\*") and reinstall portupgrade as a last resort." That didn't work, but ofcourse, I used "pkg_add -r ruby-devel". Any ideas on how to proceed with the strace would be greatly appreciated. TIA, James.
