It appears you're trying to compile an interactive port (one that has a menu that a user must interact with) but you are trying to force it into BATCH mode with a setting in your /etc/make.conf. BATCH mode causes these ports to be skipped since they can't be built in BATCH mode. jmc On Sat, Jun 12, 2004 at 03:51:31PM -0500, Hermes Trismegistus wrote: > > Ok, it is with great trepidation that I ask this question, and, yes, I > feel like a complete idiot (nothing new here).
