I installed perl, so I'm no longer getting the 'perl: not found' message (any reason why perl isn't installed when installing the ports tree??) The problem now is that the 'make index' command seems to take forever: idfubar# make index Generating INDEX-5 - please wait.. And then there's no additional output. Is the server working on the request, or has the request hung? >-----Original Message----- >From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org >[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org] On Behalf Of Rishi Chopra >Sent: Monday, January 05, 2004 5:23 PM >To: questions@freebsd.org >Subject: Updating Ports Index > >For some reason, I can't seem to update the index for the ports database: > >idfubar# cd /usr/ports >idfubar# make index >Generating INDEX-5 - please wait..perl: not found >perl: not found >Done. > >I also tried attempting my first 'portsdb -Uu' after a successful CVSUp, >but am running into some problems: > >idfubar# portsdb -Uu >Updating the ports index ... perl: not found >/usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70:in `write': Broken pipe >(Errno::EPIPE) > from /usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70:in `puts' > from /usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70 >failed to generate INDEX! >portsdb: index generation error > > >Can anyone explain why I might be getting these errors?
