I've no idea what is causing your current problem, but it's perfectly fine to do: cd /usr/src/usr.bin/awk (for example) make make install make clean make cleandepends I do this kind of thing all the time. Obvious caveats apply: 1) You are no longer tracking a "standard" installation. 2) You may create a problem with mismatched versions of things. 3) Relating to 2), some things may not compile or work as intended due to changes elsewhere that would need to also be applied to the system. But other than that, things should work (to use your example, awk should work fine) Are you doing the 'make install' rather than installing manually? cheers, Jamie
