In my case "make" simply returned without doing anything; no error messages, nothing. I did some minor mod to the Makefile and it appears the Makefile was parsed and it was parsed correctly. I was installing the ports as root, and my ports tree is updated so it is the new structure. As I've mentioned earlier, I can install some ports, just not everything and certainly not the ones that I really need. -- Qing }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Qing }Sent: Friday, November 10, 2000 4:31 PM }To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: cannot install some ports } } }My source tree is in synch with 4.2-BETA as of }last night.
