This is an example of problems I have been having with "packages" downloaded from the following url: http://www.freebsd.org/ports/x11.html Please note in advance that I have connected to your site with ftp as well, and have had the SAME problem with the "packages" I have found. To whit: > tar xvfpB astrolog.tar x pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/files/md5, 217 bytes, 1 tape blocks x pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/Makefile, 2237 bytes, 5 tape blocks x pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/patches/patch-aa, 579 bytes, 2 tape blocks x pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/patches/patch-ab, 787 bytes, 2 tape blocks x pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/patches/patch-ac, 2101 bytes, 5 tape blocks x pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/pkg/COMMENT, 57 bytes, 1 tape blocks x pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/pkg/DESCR, 776 bytes, 2 tape blocks blocks x pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/pkg/PLIST, 177 bytes, 1 tape blocks ...etc... > cd pub/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/misc/astrolog/ > make make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 72: Unexpected end of line seen > emacs Makefile (removed line 72) > make cd /astrolog-5.20/src/..; \ for i in lrz5_24 chi_24 cpjv_24; do \ zcat /$i.gz > \ `echo $i | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'`; \ done sh: /astrolog-5.20/src/..: bad directory *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `post-extract' Really, adding the information from attempting make does not help, because I know very well that the dirs to be made are just NOT there when the file is unbundled. Is this correct? Do these bundled "packages" (in this example, astrolog.tar.gz) not contain source code? My first experience with this was about 2 weeks ago, from an attempt to get and install fvwm and the required xpm libs. Thanks! Erin -- |=| {@@@@@ Erin L.
