Recently I thought one of my ports was causing my machine to crash so I uninstalled it, but later found out that the only problem was a poor wireless network and low diskspace. Trying to reinstall the port failed at the configure stage. I tried a few others and they also failed at the same stage. This leads me to believe that it is something I have done. So here is the make install error: ===> Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.Please report the problem to kuriyama@FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the"/usr/ports/textproc/expat2/work/expat-2.0.1/config.log" including the outputof the failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to providean overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls/var/db/pkg`). I found a post saying to try to compile a test program, so I tried that: viper:~$ gcc -o hello hello.c /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s So it appears that I have completely screwed the pooch! Is there anything I can do to fix this? Thanks David Collins
