Yeah, don't do this. :) If you already have the link you don't need to set PORTSDIR (and in fact you shouldn't, it will create more problems than it solves, as you've seen). I haven't had my ports tree actually in /usr/ for years, but there is a link to the actual location which works just fine for all purposes. hth, Doug -- ... and that's just a little bit of history repeating. -- Propellerheads Improve the effectiveness of your Internet presence with a domain name makeover! http://SupersetSolutions.com/
