Alec, Thanks, I searched the FreeBSD Handbook for "dependency" and didn't find any reference to "make search". I guess it is one of those things that once you know about it you don't have to look for it any more. Unfortunately a lot of the documentation I can review is written for those folks who already know the answers. Thanks for the heads up on 'make search', even if I can't find a complete description of the command. I find that it is referenced in the manual, however. I see that several of the packages that were installed aren't listed in the dependencies for portupgrade. Only the two ruby programs are listed. Jay
