I have been unable to find instructions in the manual about =A0recompiling =
ports=20
as part of a system upgrade process. There seems to be no reference to it.=
=20
The upgrade from 6.1 to 6.3 seemed to work OK once I sorted out a problem=20
with perl. However 6.3 to 7.0 seems to produce more difficulties than I=20
bargained for!!!

How can I best reconfigure and recompile all th installed ports?

As you can see from below:
[root@dns1 ~]# portupgrade -a
=46atal error 'Thread is not system scope.
' at line 319 in file /usr/src/lib/libpthread/thread/thr_sig.c (errno =3D 2)
Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped)

I have definitely omitted a vital step
