Subject:   Build of linux_base-5.2 port fails
Message-ID:  <19991006215238.A400@marder-1>

Having received my StarOffice CD from Sun :) I set about following
the instructions at http://www.serv.net/~mcglk/staroffice-install.html
which said to install the linux_base port.

After ~2 hours of d/ling it bombed out during the build:

gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/ports/misc/rpm/work/rpm-2.5.5/popt'
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/misc/rpm/work/rpm-2.5.5/misc'

What is causing this? I could fix it myself, but it's a port (last
cvsup'd yesterday) so it should work.

Also, it d/l rpm-2.2.5 twice:

>> rpm-2.5.5-5.2.i386.rpm doesn't seem to exist on this system.
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/redhat/old-releases/redhat-5.2/i386/RedHat/RPMS/.
Receiving rpm-2.5.5-5.2.i386.rpm (427487 bytes): 100%
427487 bytes transferred in 267.0 seconds  (1.56 Kbytes/s)

and then again when doing ``make install'':

marder-1# make install 
===>  Installing for linux_base-5.2
===>   linux_base-5.2 depends on executable: rpm - not found
===>    Verifying install for rpm in /usr/ports/misc/rpm
>> rpm-2.5.5.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system. 
>> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.rpm.org/pub/rpm/dist/rpm-2.5.x/.
Receiving rpm-2.5.5.tar.gz (763155 bytes): 100%
763155 bytes transferred in 144.0 seconds  (5.18 Kbytes/s)
===>  Extracting for rpm-2.5.5
>> Checksum OK for rpm-2.5.5.tar.gz.

2 different versions of gdbm (1.7.3-17 & 1.8.0) were d/l'ed.

Is the port broken, or is something screwed on my system?

``uname -a'' output:

FreeBSD marder-1 3.3-STABLE FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE #1:

TIA.
