I'll toss in my observations (since I'm currently transitioning from 2.2.8 -> 3.2 on one system). Before a port passes and is published in the ports' tree, its checksum matches. If you have to over-ride this, then somewhere something is broken. It's wise to clean your /usr/ports/distfiles/, update the ports tree (by CVSup or by downloading the latest port tarball) for every port. __And its dependencies.__ Yes, it takes time. But you will wind up with a solid build--(or at least as solid as the utility :) gary -- Gary Kline Tera Computer Company To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
