I did not install KDE from packages. As soon as I installed the bare system I cvsup'd all the ports, then did a make install kde3. This completed successfully, albeit in 3 days. I then tried to "make package" for kde so I wouldnt need to compile it again. The make package failed with the following: ------------ Creating gzip'd tar ball in '/usr/ports/packages/All/kde-3.3.0.tgz' tar: etc/kde-meta.conf: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors pkg_create: make_dist: tar command failed with code 512 *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/x11/kde3 ------------- Google shows a few other people have reported similar problems, but there are no solutions. (except update the port and do it again - but I used the most recently updated port already) Any help much appreciated. Thanks Peter
