Either you don't have the patches or there's a permissions problem. The port files should look like this:- bash---+--- Makefile | +--- files | +--- patches---+--- patch-aa | | | +--- patch-ab, etc | +--- pkg If you have got the patches, make sure you have read permission on them and that you have read an execute permission on the patches directory itself. Or try doing the make as root. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland jraynard@dial.pipex.com james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
