Just as a side note, here, you should never put "." in root's path for security reasons. If you do you may accidently run a tojan that happens to be in the current directory and named after a common command like 'ls' (for example if you are examining a user's directory as root or you are cd'd into /var/tmp). It may be convenient, but it is far better to get used to typing './BLAH' for things you want to run from the current directory then to make it automatic and potentially blow the machine's security. -Matt Matthew Dillon <dillon@backplane.com> :On Mon, Jul 01, 2002 at 07:16:59PM -0400, Bryan Liesner wrote: :> :> You must have "." in your path.

I always have :"." in my path. Also, trying to install it from the work directory in :/usr/ports/print/freetype2 results in the same errors. So does the old :classic way of `make install` in the same directory. : :What else could be the cause of the failure? : :regards :-- : Andreas "ant" Ntaflos : ant@overclockers.at : Vienna, AUSTRIA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
