You don't strictly /need/ to set the CPUTYPE in /etc/make.conf -- but you can if you like. It's a trade-off between getting some CPU specific compiler optimizations (which may or may not result in better performance) and being able to move compiled objects to machines with different CPUs. An appropriate setting in your case would be: ~ CPUTYPE?= core2 but there are usually several alternatives which would work. Cheers, Matthew - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil.
