Problem is with dependency libiconv-1.13.1_1. I am using the ports tree from BETA1, from portsnap, hence ports directory is /BETA1/usr/ports, BETA1 being the BETA1 partition/file system. My /etc/make.conf is PORTSDIR=/BETA1/usr/ports PACKAGES=/usr/packages WRKDIR=workb2 # added by use.perl 2011-09-13 02:49:43 PERL_VERSION=5.14.1 Error screen shows, copied with the mouse, thanks to moused: amelia2# ls workb2 .extract_done.libiconv._usr_local libiconv-1.13.1 amelia2# ls workb2/libiconv-1.13.1/ ABOUT-NLS Makefile.devel aclocal.m4 gnulib-local src AUTHORS Makefile.in autogen.sh include srclib COPYING NEWS build-aux lib srcm4 COPYING.LIB NOTES config.h.in libcharset tests ChangeLog PORTS configure m4 tools DEPENDENCIES README configure.ac man windows DESIGN README.djgpp djgpp os2 woe32dll HACKING README.woe32 doc po INSTALL.generic THANKS extras preload amelia2# make package-recursive |& tee build.log ===> Patching for libiconv-1.13.1_1 ===> Applying distribution patches for libiconv-1.13.1_1 patch: **** can't cd to workb2/libiconv-1.13.1: No such file or directory *** Error code 1 Stop in /BETA1/usr/ports/converters/libiconv. *** Error code 1 Stop in /BETA1/usr/ports/converters/libiconv. amelia2# pwd /BETA1/usr/ports/converters/libiconv amelia2# (end of quote) FreeBSD system or ports system can't find a directory right under its nose! I had gone into directory /BETA1/usr/ports/converters/libiconv to build that dependency before returning to lynx, but now seem stuck, or am I overlooking something hopelessly simple? Tom
