However, the first time it fell over shortly after installing libtools and after returning to build p5-GDBM. I got: cc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal signal 11 *** Error code 1 ) ) X 12 Stop. ) I just did another `make install' and it completed fine. I have one further question. I have now installed a full ports tree from the CD ROM. I don't need 95%+ of what is there. Can it be pruned right back? If so, can you point me to the docs? There's nothing about this in Greg's book and a search through the archives didn't reveal much either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Footnote: During the install I sat in amazement as yards of `stuff' was spewed out to the screen. I have no idea who thought through the logic behind all of this - simply quite brilliant! My special thanks to Nick Sayer for the extended hand-holding. Well done. Next week it's back to that perl script... Kind regards, Ric To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
