Have I overlooked something obvious? > Chad, Had the same thought's here - don't know for certain that it's the right thing to do, but I did: cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf261 make deinstall make reinstall This seemed to remove the older versions of autoconf. Following that a portupgrade -av built the few other ports that had been skipped previously. Cheers, Barry
