That should remove the :port from your system, and should leave nothing left. Then, all No, it won't. Make distclean is make clean, plus removing the dist files from ports/distfiles/. To remove a port, you need to run "make deinstall", or use pkg_delete. I'd remove the tk port and reinstall it. -- dscheidt@tumbolia.com Bipedalism is only a fad.
