And it worked as well. > I just upgraded a machine from 3.1 to 4.0-stable and it went almost okay (apart from install-info I had to install libc because I did not have libc.so.4 needed by install-info) Furthermore perl install went wrong and I had to manually make perl in all of its subdirs. The problem was that in config.pm (which is made) there was a release check that failed. Running make in the perl dir also failed in the first subdir because make complained about a missing config.h. Doing a manually make config.h solved the problem in the various subdirs. That was all and apart from these minor issues, everything worked like a charm. -Guido To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
