Yeah, that looks normal. It should be fairly obvious if a port build fails i.e it tells you in fairly certain terms. If that is the case, post the error messages & a few lines before it starts to blow up. > > B. I should be able to do --version and get the version right?  no > matter what directory I am in?

These commands make your shell rescan the dirs in it's $PATH. > > > again thanks for helping a noob out. > No worries. A couple of tips for the future: address your questions to questions@ rather than chat@ and preface your question with the output of: $ uname -rms Regards, -- Frank Contact info: http://www.shute.org.uk/misc/contact.html
