The problem is due to STLport incompatibilities. The tripwire folks state in their doc that STLport at the time was a moving target, so they included a copy frozen in time in their software. Unfortunately it fails to build under -CURRENT. Using STLport in ports doesn't work either because of the issues they mention in their README. Quite short sighted on their part, however as I've been a software developer for commercial software in a previous life, I can understand management's reasons for doing what they do (the old 80/20 rule to get product out the door quickly to generate revenue). I'm working on a patch. Cheers, -- Cy Schubert http://www.komquats.com/ BC Government . FreeBSD UNIX Cy.Schubert@osg.gov.bc.ca . cy@FreeBSD.org http://www.gov.bc.ca/ . http://www.FreeBSD.org/
