Have you went through the upgrade of portupgrade itself? Check /usr/ports/UPDATING for more information about Ruby 1.6 and 1.8. The new Portupgrade is going to want Ruby 1.8 which is going to throw a big wrinkle in the rebuild of portupgrade. I was able to fix it after googling the build error we kept hitting. I do not remember the specific error, but it was while working through the issues mentioned in /usr/ports/UPDATING. If this happens look for the specific error that occurs and see if there's anything mentioned about it on the net and fixing it by adding a line or two to /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf. I was able to fix the problem by adding the following line while running FreeBSD 4.09. ENV['PORTS_DBDRIVER'] ||= 'bdb1_hash' Good luck! Lewis
