I decided to try to move around the source tree and as a test, I created a /usr/test.src tree linked to the 2.1.5 CD-ROM's /usr/src tree. I then uncommented and changed the BASE line in the stable-supfile file to BASE=/usr/test.src and the PREFIX line to read PREFIX=/usr/test.src as well. I created a sup directory in /usr/test.src and then tried to run sup. What I get is: sup -vz stable-supfile SUP 9.26 (4.3 BSD) for file stable-supfile at Sep 1 13:26:30 SUP: Can't open /usr/lib/supfiles/coll.host If I start sup where I have my default supfiles (/usr/local) everything runs fine. I originally grabbed sup from the ports collection, but to see if there was some problem with the version I'm running, I compiled the source from the baseline and the source on the 2.1.5 CD-ROM - all produce the same error. There is no `coll.host' file anywhere and AFAIK from the man page, it shouldn't be looking for one unless it thinks I'm trying to use the -s switch. There is also no `supfiles' directory in /usr/lib (or anywhere else) and if I create one, it still gives the same error. -Dave
