One easy (but lengthy) way to correct your error is to upgrade to the latest version of FreeBSD in the 2.2 branch, that is 2.2.8 via cvsup and make world (both are explained in the handbook) TfH Rudi Opperman wrote: > > hello > i run the following ... > FreeBSD a.b.c.d 2.2.6-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.6-RELEASE #0: Mon Dec 7 > 11:01:37 SAST 1998 root@mirror.askas.co.za:/usr/src/sys/compile/mirror > i386 > with a fairly standard kernel ... > When i try to install netscape communicator 5 from the ports i get the > following ... > > "/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 1: Malformed conditional > (${MACHINE_ARCH:Mi386} != "") > "/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2250: if-less endif > "/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk", line 2250: Need an operator > make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue > > help ? > > bye > rudi > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
