The first step one should take when this > type of error happens is a plain "make buildworld". You can usually do a "make -DNOCLEAN buildworld" here to speed up the run. It'll zip through what you've already compiled rather than rebuild it. If this build succeeds, there's probably a dependency problem someplace causing the -j build to fail. Also logging your builds is a good idea: "script world.log make -j4 buildworld". > The next step is run cvsup again to see if the problem has > been fixed. Then, report the error to freebsd-current. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
