I just did that and... same result. the last message before the "registering thoteditor..." is: gmake[1]: *** [../bin/thot] Error 1 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr (and so forth)' Preceeding this is a whacking great list of names of object files with "Undefined symbol..." messages. If I simply gunzip the tar files (piped thru tar) then I still get the broken pipe message after each tar file. The make script reports that the checksums are ok. I _think_ the tarballs got zip without something? Maybe? As I said I'm not a programer but I'm usually able to get more than this out of a port. This port, however is _way_ more complex, and I'm stumped. Any Other ideas appreciated. Thanks again for the attention.
