I am Thats a decent first step. make clean then cvsup your ports and try again. A good next step if you get the same error again is to check bento.freebsd.org to see if the port failure shows up there. Ports are built on a clean system there, so problems listed on bento mean its not a problem on just your machine. > still seeing this error.

If it is a problem on bento too, you can assume someone like Kris will be aware of it and especially for popular ports, a fix will be worked out soon. If it stays broken a couple days, only then write a pr or mail the maintainer to nudge them to fix it. Thanks, Tim PS sorry, Ronnie, you get this twice, I forgot to cc the list
