There is no way I am going to fight my way through cvsup-ing all those config files and then download the 32 sources and compile each one, just to find out it's broken also. Thats the whole reason I used the package collection. So I guess you are saying the FBSD wv2 package is broken and I should submit an PR and email the maintainer directly. http://wvware.sourceforge.net/ says it's an very small source with command line options and it does not have any dependants, so I do not understand just what all that FBSD dependant stuff is for. Sure looks like overkill, or an very major screw up. Who ever ported this sure was out in left field and there was no one monitoring their handy work to verify it was done correctly. And what about some kind of intended use and overview description. The 5 word description is useless. An much better job has to be done that that. I see the same problem with many other ports. What good is an inventory of 9600 ports when there is no information to explain to the installer how to get started. My ESP just is not that good. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Louis LeBlanc Sent: Thursday, February 05, 2004 5:38 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Help with using wv2 application.

Are you sure you have it installed? $ locate wvWare /usr/local/bin/wvWare /usr/local/man/cat1/wvWare.1.gz /usr/local/man/man1/wvWare.1.gz If you don't have wvWare in /usr/local/bin you might want to try installing it from the port (/usr/ports/textproc/wv).
