Building tcl75 and tk41 on from the 2.1.5 CD worked just fine... then I tried building expect. Both ports (2.1.5 and 2.1.6) seem to be broken. They both insist they are for expect-5.19 but what is included on the CD is expect-5.16 (and the current version at the source is 5.21), so the MD5's don't match and the patches won't work even if the extraction directory in work is renamed (had to at least try that). >From the 2.1.5 CD MD5 (/cdrom/ports/distfiles/expect.tar.gz) = ef2b4a3f41819587dcea6ce51a1709bd MD5 (expect.tar.gz) = c68a09b6eef7286527e96966c800f941 requires expect-5.19, includes expect-5.16 >From the 2.1.6 CD MD5 (/cdrom/ports/distfiles/expect.tar.gz) = ef2b4a3f41819587dcea6ce51a1709bd MD5 (expect.tar.gz) = c68a09b6eef7286527e96966c800f941 requires expect-5.19, includes expect-5.16 If you have a copy of expect (the port files and the tarball) that will build and could send it to me, I'd be VERY grateful at this point. -Dave
