You need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the instructions So I upgraded to today's stable, and it still didn't work. (I use CTM, I got up to src-3.0076 if that helps.) I finally traced it down to a missing file: /var/db/pkg/.mkversion, and by hand I inserted todays date: 19990330, and now it all works fine. But shouldn't this have been done automatically by some process?
