I then installed CVSup from the ports collection and used cvsup to update src-all, doc-all, and ports-all. Here is the cvsup command that I used: cvsup -g -L 2 /etc/cvsupfile Here are the contents of /etc/cvsupfile : *default host=cvsup8.FreeBSD.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs *default tag=RELENG_4_4 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all *default tag=. ports-all doc-all Next, I did this: cd /usr/src make buildworld That went OK so I tried this: cd /usr/src make buildworld Oops. That failed in the /usr/share/colldef section with the following error messages: install: /usr/share/locale/ru_SU.CP866/LC_COLLATE: Too many levels of symbolic links *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/src/share/colldef. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/src/share. *** Error code 1 I then found these sym links in directory /usr/share/local/ : lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Jun 4 16:51 ru_RU.CP866@ -> ru_SU.CP866 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Jun 4 16:51 ru_RU.ISO_8859-5@ -> ru_SU.ISO_8859-5 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 12 Jun 4 16:51 ru_RU.KOI8-R@ -> ru_SU.KOI8-R lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 11 Jun 2 02:54 ru_SU.CP866@ -> ru_RU.CP866 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 15 Jun 2 02:54 ru_SU.ISO8859-5@ -> ru_RU.ISO8859-5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 15 Jun 2 02:54 ru_SU.ISO_8859-5@ -> ru_RU.ISO8859-5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 12 Jun 2 02:54 ru_SU.KOI8-R@ -> ru_RU.KOI8-R I'm not sure what to do next. In case it helps, here's the output of "uname -a": FreeBSD 209-189-205-34.2alpha.com 4.5-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE #0: Mon Jan 28 14:31:56 GMT 2002 murray@builder.freebsdmall.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC i386 Thanks, in advance for any help with this.
