Libz is now a standard part of the system. Once that happened, the port was removed. Remember, the ports are designed for -current; they won't always work for older versions of FreeBSD. You have several options: * Get, build, and install /usr/src/lib/libz/ from -current. * Get the standard zlib distribution from: ftp://quest.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/zlib/zlib-1.0.4.tar.gz (It installs out-of-the-box on FreeBSD.) * Check out the port from the FreeBSD CVS repository by specifying a date prior to when the port was killed. It was in "devel/libz". -- John Polstra jdp@polstra.com John D. Polstra & Co., Inc. Seattle, Washington USA "Self-knowledge is always bad news." -- John Barth
