Error code 1 is a catch-all for "make failed". Are you building the ports as a regular user by any chance? Only root has the necessary permissions to download, compile and install ports. When you fetched the file manually, did you have write permission in the current directory (or did you fetch as root)? If you ARE doing things with the necessary local permissions, I'm at a loss. I've built several ports on my 3.4-STABLE system today, and I tried /usr/ports/mail/pine[4|3] on 3.2-RELEASE successfully. The file at ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/pine/pine4.21.tar.gz is mode 664, and I successfully grabbed it. I can't reproduce your problem. Beyond that, you'll need to supply us with more details for a better diagnosis. -- Ryan Thompson 50% Owner, Sysadmin SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
