Ok, so I check the deps and it needs ezm3-1.1. so I go to > install that: > > bash-2.05b# cd /usr/ports/lang/ezm3/ > bash-2.05b# make > ===> ezm3-1.1 is only for alpha i386 sparc64, and you are running > amd64. > bash-2.05b# > > *gak!* > > I give up! > > Any suggestions or light reading?! :) Have a look at http://people.freebsd.org/~peter/ezm3-amd64/ There are a mountain of diffs and hacks to try and get ezm3 to work with gcc on amd64. There is enough there to enable you to produce the same binary in the package you downloaded. ie: it will blow up with that zlib error. Be sure to put the boot-ezm3-1.1-FBSD_AMD64.tar.bs2 into your /usr/ports/distfiles/ezm3/ directory because its not in John's dist area that the port knows about. As has been mentioned, don't use compress. I know this is a PITA, but I haven't figured out a way around it. The error code is 0xffffffffb which is -5. For zlib, that translates to 'buffer error'. In other words, the callback hooks for zlib in cvsup are not working right. I'd welcome you to try and fix them. :-) -- Peter Wemm - peter@wemm.org; peter@FreeBSD.org; peter@yahoo-inc.com "All of this is for nothing if we don't go to the stars" - JMS/B5
