I've been building both -CURRENT and -STABLE since as far back as I can remember, and this is the first time that a problem has persisted this long ... right now, on my one machine that is current to Aug 15th (4.1-STABLE), I've done a full 'make buildworld', a complete 'make buildkernel', and am trying to do a 'make installkernel', but its failing to be able to install mk: install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 bsd.README bsd.dep.mk bsd.doc.mk bsd.docb.mk bsd.info.mk bsd.kern.mk bsd.kmod.mk bsd.lib.mk bsd.libnames.mk bsd.man.mk bsd.obj.mk bsd.own.mk bsd.port.mk bsd.port.post.mk bsd.port.pre.mk bsd.port.subdir.mk bsd.prog.mk bsd.sgml.mk bsd.subdir.mk sys.mk /mk usage: install [-CcDpsv] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 file2 install [-CcDpsv] [-f flags] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] file1 ... fileN directory install -d [-v] [-g group] [-m mode] [-o owner] directory ... *** Error code 64 Yet, if I go into the share/mk directory and do an install there, it works perfectly ... Hell, on another box where I installed 4.1-RELEASE and am trying to upgrade, I'm getting a myriad of errors that make little-to-no-sense ... its not as if this is my first system either ...
