I installed a few small ports (xminesweeper, e.g.), but those went in smoothly. I haven't tested it, but it may be that the error occurs only when upgrading a port; make complains that the "new" port is older than the existing. I will try a few more installs to see which throw the error and try to relate same on the list for future interest. I think it might be best just to wait until the next "backup, upgrade, restore" cycle, like maybe when 8.1 or 8.2 comes out to fix it more permanently. In any event, thanks for the help. Richard
