I take it from this that you can deinstall the port. Have you cleaned out the "work" directory by then running "make clean"...?? Then, you should be able to install new port. #make install distclean Best regards, Jack L. Stone, Administrator SageOne Net http://www.sage-one.net jackstone@sage-one.net Hi, Forgot to mention that I have done make clean's (and distcleans) as well - still same problem. Very puzzled! Cheers, Carl.
