So the configure script > needs to check for gnustat, maybe this solves your problem? Now I see where GNU stat is, and it's not FreeBSD's fault that ptxdist configure script can't find things. I made a symbolic link in nonroot ~/fb64/bin: ln -s /usr/local/bin/gnustat gstat That worked so far, but then ptxdist configure script failed on not finding GNU tar (in archivers as gtar, not sysutils/coreutils). I didn't know I needed that! Anyway, thanks for pointing out where GNU stat is. Tom
