Hello, It is because of having difference in the file '/etc/make.conf'. After you copy a new set of "/etc/*.*" files from /var/tmp/root/etc/, A fresh "/etc/make.conf" with different options overwrite the old one. It do led to failure of installworld. You only need to edit "/etc/make.conf" with the same configuration as before, the installworld process will run smoothly again. Sorry for my poor english, I am chinese. Regards, Lawrence H.Y. Cheung P.S. Remember do not overwrite some important file in /etc during upgrade, such as 'password' file(s), /etc/fstab ,...etc. dfrazier@Op.Net@SMTP@FreeBSD.ORG on 03/14/2000 12:31:27 PM Sent by: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG@SMTP cc: Subject: make installworld fails... Classification: Restricted Hello all, this is my first post to the stable mailing list, but I have been lurking for some time now. I cvsupped last night. make buildworld went fine, then I did the following to update /etc... cp -Rp /etc /etc.old mkdir /var/tmp/root cd /usr/src/etc make DESTDIR=/var/tmp/root distrib-dirs distribution cd /var/tmp/root find -d . -type d | /usr/bin/perl -lne \ 'opendir(D,$_);@f=readdir(D);rmdir if $#f == 1;closedir(D);' ...then I compared /etc with /var/tmp/root/etc, and made the appropriate changes. then I did... cp -Rp /var/tmp/root/etc/ /etc So far, so good. Next I did... cd /usr/src make installworld ...which bombed within minutes. This is how it exited... install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 libcom_err.a /usr/lib install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 libcom_err_p.a /usr/lib install: libcom_err_p.a: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 ...and so on. The system was a fresh 3.3-RELEASE install from the cd. If I have left out any info that may help please let me know. As of this point I am clueless, any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
