I'm actually looking for any info on installing ports in general. I keep running into this problem when I do a make install in my ports directory. For example, I have installed a few ports lately. Right now, I was actually tackling the install of Java and Mozilla 1.3a. But I get this error with a number of different ports. Sometimes, I can get around it. But I normally run make in my ports tree, eg: # cd /usr/ports/www/adzap # make # make install # make clean Well, sometimes, I get the following error. After make has completed and I type make install, I get the following brief message: Missing }. Yes, a close curly bracket and a period. Now, I think I've gotten around it in at least two ways. Once, I think I edited the Makefile. (Maybe I added a bracket somewhere?) But I have often found that if I go into the work directory, I can run make install there and it will (sometimes) work. Well, these workarounds seem like strange. I don't think I'm doing something right. I even tried gmake, but it doesn't seem to work, either. Has anyone seen this before? I get it on half of the ports I install. When I have this error, make won't run, either, nor will make clean. I can't get Mozilla or Java to install due to this error. Is my whole ports tree messed up? I have FreeBSD 4.7, with Matt Simerson's mail toaster installed.
