Synopsis: lang/python25 does not compile on FreeBSD 5.0 State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: linimon State-Changed-When: Fri Sep 28 00:11:39 UTC 2007 State-Changed-Why: I'm sorry, what you're doing simply isn't supported. The EOL for 5.0 was on 06/30/2003. Since then, there have been an immense number of changes in FreeBSD (both src and ports). The only systems that are supported are releases 5.5, 6.1, and 6.2; the -stable branch (to become 6.3); and the -current branch (to become 7.0). In fact, patches for versions older than these are already no longer kept in the ports tree. My intuition is that you'll be spending a great deal of time trying to get modern ports to work on such an old system. A far better choice would be to upgrade to one of the above. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=116696help
