The only modification I have made is to recompile the generic kernel to include support for the ida device (Compaq 3200 Smart Array controller). When I try to compile any of the ports, they all bomb out with the following error: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Receiving mysql-3.22.25.tar.gz (3918463 bytes): 100% 3918463 bytes transferred in 228.2 seconds (16.77 Kbytes/s) ===> Extracting for mysql-server-3.22.25 >> Checksum OK for mysql-3.22.25.tar.gz. ===> mysql-server-3.22.25 depends on executable: libtool - found /usr/bin/tar: Skipping to next file header... gzip: /usr/ports/distfiles//mysql-3.22.25.tar.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I have re-installed completely in case something silly had gone wrong first time round and I hadn't noticed, and I get exactly the same results - with any of the ports I try to compile. I can gzip and gunzip other files fine - it's just the ones that are fetched while making ports. Any ideas? Si.
