I'm trying to install the lynx port on a particular machine.  Here's what 
I did:

kennett# cd /usr/ports
kennett# cd www
kennett# ftp ftp.freebsd.org
ftp> passive
ftp> get lynx.tar
local: lynx.tar remote: lynx.tar
227 Entering Passive Mode (209,155,82,18,112,245)
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'lynx.tar'.
226 Transfer complete.
11264 bytes received in 4.36 seconds (2.52 KB/s)
ftp> quit
kennett# tar xf lynx.tar
kennett# cd lynx  
kennett# make 
"/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2: Could not find 
/cdrom/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk

So I commented out the following in /etc/make.conf:

#PORTSDIR=     /cdrom/ports
#DISTDIR=      /tmp/distfiles
#WRKDIRPREFIX= /tmp 

Then I tried to make again:

kennett# pwd
/usr/ports/www/lynx
kennett# make
>> lynx2.8.1rel.1.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system.

Now I'm lost.  What's wrong?

On another machine, this build is working fine.  But that machine has all 
the port skeletons installed.  The above was done manually.

cheers.
