My apologies for changing the subject, but I have a question to that very topic. I just completed a forklift upgrade from 4.10 to 6.0-RC1 on my new laptop. Pretty much everything built fine, except VMware, and I was trying to install it via pkg_add and ran into the same error. What is the reason that VMware doesn't built? Is this just temporary until Makefiles can be hacked to make it build under 6.0 or is there some architectural problem that prevents it from ever running on 6.0? Thanks, Frank PS: Other than a minor issue with ipfilter, FBSD 6 seems to run great.... but this is my first day with it, so... --=-BLW6SWeIlkrjYVs9sSRl Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBDYB5ZwBQKb2zelzoRAlMtAKDWzW3CN6fE/ZeWRKz4HONMMIutWACgzN5o Y/laOn6J8VKryPS3S+L5iCI= =ejsO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-BLW6SWeIlkrjYVs9sSRl--
