Hello fellow FreeBSD'ers, Save yourselves a headache. I went to the port /usr/ports/editors/wordperfect. You know the make does: make ===> wordperfect-8.0 'The source to this port may not be automatically fetched due to licensing restrictions. You MUST fetch the source manually after reading and agreeing to the license at: http://linux.corel.com/products/linuxproducts_wp8.htm Once GUILG00.GZ has been downloaded, move it to /usr/ports/distfiles and then restart this build.'. Well I went to that ghastly corel site. What pain in the tush that was. When you finally get to the cnet or ftp.cdrom.com clickable link it opens it and you see all the gibberish on the screen. Then i tried right click save as...html??? Nope. No good. So just do the following as non root then as the port instructions say, mv the gz file to /usr/ports/distfiles So try this: lnb@satan:~$fetch ftp://ftp.download.com/pub/win95/business/GUILG/GUILG00.GZ Receiving GUILG00.GZ (23730473 bytes): 100% 23730473 bytes transferred in 185.6 seconds (124.88 Kbytes/s) lnb@satan:~$su Password: satan# mv GUILG00.GZ /usr/ports/distfiles satan# cd /usr/ports/distfiles satan# ls Digest-MD5-2.09.tar.gz jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz GUILG00.GZ satan# pwd /usr/ports/editors/wordperfect satan# make ===> Extracting for wordperfect-8.0 >> Checksum OK for GUILG00.GZ. ===> Patching for wordperfect-8.0 ===> Applying FreeBSD patches for wordperfect-8.0 ===> Configuring for wordperfect-8.0 satan# make install Then follow the intructions ... but dont waste your time with going to the corel site. Just use the fetch command shown above. It works, trust me.
