But if I remember properly, there is a path to follow when upgrading from a older release to a newer release. simply getting the source and trying to build isn't it. Going from memory, I heard you have to upgrade to the latest subrelease of your current major release (6.4 in your case). From 6.4, you have to upgrade to 7.0. then from 7.0, you can upgrade to RELENG_7 You might want to do one of the following, because it will probably be quicker: 1) Backup everything. Stick in the latest snapshot CD and install (or maybe upgrading) from that, then restoring. 2) Trying freebsd-update to upgrade you to that big jump. I've never tried upgrading such a large jump, and i would have a backup just in case. I hope you find the right path, the error you pasted is saying it's not finding a RELENG_7 library due to the fact that your running system is a RELENG_6 Good luck. post if you have more questions. -- Tim Judd I will top-post when I feel like it. For those who are so demanding everyone bottom-post, You'll just have to forgive others when they choose to top-post.
