Well, as soon as I posted this, someone on undernet irc #freebsd spotted it and told me they knew the answer. The problem was that I was using the current bsd.port.mk but an old fetch binary which did not support the -A switch that bsd.port.mk was trying to use. So I needed the upgrade kit as specifed at http://www.freebsd.org/ports/. Here's what I did to fix the above: cd /usr/ports fetch -p ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-3- stable/Latest/31upgrade.tgz pkg_add 31upgrade.tgz cd www/lynx make and the make is now proceeding nicely, thank you very much. <grin> -- Dan Langille The FreeBSD Diary http://www.FreeBSDDiary.com/freebsd To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
