No, you only installed the framework and patches necessary to install, a lot of packages. You don't have the actual software distributions themselves. Try and download bash-2.03-tar.gz and place it, with this exact name, in /usr/ports/distfiles. Then, do "make" again. Now it will work, unless you need more distributions; then do the same again with those. -- Bart.
