Hi, I am fairly new to fbsd and not a linux user, just windows and osx. My first install was version 7.1 for a short while and had 7.2, but only just came back to it with 9.0-r (amd64). I have a bit of an issue with the port system and was hoping to get some basic info as to what i might be doing wrong or missing before i go mess up my install. Basically, i know the basics of installing, maintaining ports, etc, but I seem to always end up with a rather flakey system, apps not running properly and so on. The one time I was really happy with my system is when i had tinderbox set up (on ver 7.x) and built everything in there, but was still using the same make.conf options in there as my /etc/make.conf I only ever had this option set CFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe and have tried without anything in /etc/make.conf ( apart from perl version entry from the port). So far i have never concerned myself while ldconfig or related stuff, as i am green on that, and have always had either default or whatever gets updated automatically. Would that be an issue, or my only issue? is there something else i need to set up properly on my system, or are my fingers just too big for my keyboard? At the moment i have 9.0-r installed, using packages only, with un-updated ports (so i can delete/add packages with portupgrade -PP and have no version issues), then i have tinderbox set up again, with latest ports tree (csup'ed last night) and plan to rebuild all the packages i'm using, but i don't want to have to avoid straight "make install clean" for every small thing later. Can someone give me some direction? I am still learning to use fbsd, and starting C, so i dont mind reading/testing. I dont mind running "pkg_delete -fav" every other day either atm. Thanks in advance
