But if you do this you get: basedir="./bin" builddir="" ldata="./data" langdir="" srcdir="" I suspect that given the level of complexity of the build process that trying to patch the source files to fix this would be extremely difficult. The other approach is to modify the PORT Makefile and have the mysql_install_db modified before installation with the correct binary directory. -- Patrick Powell Astart Technologies papowell@astart.com 1530 Jamacha Road, Suite X, Network and System San Diego, CA 92019 Consulting 858-874-6543 Web Site: www.astart.com
