Thanks, some things were fixed, but I'm sure there's something more wrong. I'd like to get nslint installed and then pursue this problem again. The current situation isn't stopping me from doing anything. It's just annoying. > Just run that nslint wherever it is, if "make install" doesn't work. umm, there isn't any nslint file. There is a Makefile, Makefile.in, configure, configure.in, nslint.8, mkdep, intall-sh, nslint.c, etc. But no instructions. I've tried running a few of the scripts found in the directory (e.g. configure), but that seems to configure the Makefile. README doesn't contain anything pertaining to making. INSTALL literally contains "(Place Holder)". I'm lost. > Are you trying to install it from a port? I think so. From memory, I downloaded from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles/nslint-2.0a5.tar.Z. Then I did a gunzip followed by a tar -xvf. -- Dan Langille DVL Software Limited http://www.dvl-software.com/freebsd : my [mis]adventures To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
