I had been having some problems installing ports: they manifested as configure misreading the system type and setting up libtool so it wouldn't build shared libs. After some correspondence with a FreeBSD team member and a port maintainer, I decided to start afresh with a kernel and world reinstall. This led me to the solution. The email excerpted below mentioned almost the same error I was seeing: http://www.atm.tut.fi/list-archive/freebsd-stable/msg04153.html > For the last week or so, I've been having trouble building kernels > against a > RELENG_4 source tree.

Any ideas how this might have gotten into this state and how I can resolve it completely? -- Paul Beard <www.paulbeard.org/> paulbeard [at] mac.com
