Hi Chris, Thanks for your answer. I guess I'll take the plunge into RELENG_5 land and try to get bge working that way as well. If only 5.4-RELEASE was a little bit quicker to come out :-). As an aside to the FreeBSD developer community - thanks for all of your hard work on this great OS. I've been using FreeBSD since version 2.2, and on the rare occassion when I run into a problem, someone on this list is always right there to set me straight... best regards, tom tfischer@rain.fr Chris Phillips wrote: > I had the same problem, but saw that the required element was in 'HEAD', > so I did a cvsup RELENG_5 & it's now operational.
