I read the man pages for make Aha! Nowhere in your first message did you even indicate that it *wasn't building* for you, you simply implied that you were confused at the apparent absence of source files where I knew none needed to exist, so I mailed my correction. If you are NOW saying that it doesn't build and furthermore suggests that /usr/src/contrib/cvs/diff is somehow missing from your system. Maybe you don't have src-contrib in your cvsup file? How the heck should I know? It works for me! :) > several times but do not see anywhere mentioned that I am supposed to know > anything. It implies that what compiled yesterday should compile today. Well, you should have known this one just from the cvs-all mail which showed a rather large import of new CVS bits from Peter! :) Seeing the files affected could then have led to a hunt for them on your own system following your last cvsup/ctm/whatever and, when you didn't see them, would have pointed you pretty squarely in the right direction I'd say. 8-) JOrdan
