Hi, I've been trying all morning to get minicom from /usr/ports/comms/minicom installed and can't get it to work. First, I tried "make install" from /usr/ports/comms/minicom and it couldn't find it at any of the ftp sites listed in the makefile. Next, I downloaded a newer version of it (1.83) from ftp.freebsd.org but got the following message after unpacking it and typing "make" and "make install" from the unpacked minicom directory: Variable PKGNAME is recursive. Finally, I tried downloading and installing minicom-1.83.1.src.tar.gz from www.pp.clinet.fi/~walker/minicom.html but couldn't get that to work either. Also, I've probably rendered /usr/ports/comms/minicom useless because after I download the tar file from ftp.freebsd.org and couldn't get it to install, I copied the entire contents of the unpacked minicom directory over the top of /usr/ports/comms/minicom, thinking I could do this and then cd to /usr/ports/comms/minicom, type "make install" and it would work but it didn't. Could someone help me get this port installed? I'd really appreciate some help.
