This happens on all systems > attached to the NFS system ... You should do your NFS mount and then cd into somethine like /usr/ports/devel and do a pwd. If it doesn't say /usr/ports/devel, the default make will not always work. The same is true on make buildworld and make installworld on a different system when you use NFS mounts. There are parameters that you can pass to the makes but a simple make doesn't work with the environment I tested. Kent > > -- > MfG > O.
