Hello, I am trying to update my version of FreeBSD from 5.4 to 5.5-STABLE. = This is one of the many things I've yet to get my feet wet with yet, and = so I'm not entirely sure what it is I am doing. I've made a backup of = my most critical work. Some links I've found describing this process: 1. = http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html 2. http://www.nabble.com/Upgrading-FreeBSD-Questions-t4716949.html So far I've run cvsup with a line in it: *default tag=3DRELENG_5_5_0_RELEASE After a long time it said that it finished successfully. Regardless, = I'm not sure if the line I used is correct to get 5.5 STABLE. Then I ran: % make buildworld =3D=3D=3D> gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib sed -e 's,@CSH@,/bin/csh,' -e 's@PERL@,/usr/bin/perl,' = /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib/../../../../contrib/cvs/contrib/Makefile= .in > Makefile "Makefile", line 15: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 Stop in usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs. *** Error code 1 Stop in usr/src/gnu/usr.bin. *** Error code 1 Stop in usr/src/gnu. *** Error code 1 Stop in usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in usr/src. *** Error code 1 Stop in usr/src. Unfortunately, I typed all that out by hand and so it is quite possible = there is a typo or two, but that is the general jist of it all. Is = there someone who knows what is going on with this? All answers/tips = are greatly appreciated! Nic R.
