Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-ports@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I have FreeBSD 4.1 installed, as: FreeBSD cfcl.com 4.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1-RELEASE #0: Fri Jul 28 14:30:31 GMT 2000 jkh@ref4.freebsd.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 I decided to get brave and bring in a new ports tarball, because I wanted to install some newish package releases. So, I did this, saving my old (active) ports directories for reference. Unfortunately, when I went into the new ports tree and tried to build something (postgresql7), I received the following nastygram: (SU) rdm@cfcl.com [...databases/postgresql7] 1: make FreeBSD: not found "/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk", line 532: warning: "FreeBSD -s" returned non-zero status FreeBSD: not found ===> postgresql-7.0.3 : Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk. You need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the instructions. No problem, I thought. Lessee now, the site lists a pile of "Upgrade kits"; where is the one I need? Whoops! The latest kit is "For users of 4.0-release or 4.0-stable after 4.0-release". THAT doesn't look right! So, can someone tell me what I need to do (and perhaps put something appropriate on the web page, as well)? -r -- -- http://www.cfcl.com/rdm email: rdm@cfcl.com phone: +1 650-873-7841 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
