Hi LG:
Thanks for the tip.

I connected to www. Freebsd.org, sherched for rpm and got to a page 
with several rpm ports that can be downloaded. Since O have FreeBSD 6.0 
I figured I could go for the latehast rpm which is 4.0.4_4. So I first 
downloaded rpm4.tar, and put it in my /usr/rpm/rpm4/ dir. rpm4.tar 
contains the makefile.Then I downloaded rpm-4.0.4_4.tbz and put it in 
my /usr/ports/ dir. But I could see that the make file was not 
interested in a tbz file so I connected to the internet and started 
make so it coul;d go get the file it wanted. Make did so.

I think I also unzipped the rpm-4.0.4_4 tbz file. Somehow I ended up 
with two sub-directories to my /usr/rpm/rpm4 directory They are Files 
and Work. The files Dir contains a bunch of patch files.

 From what you said about "a patch in the port skeleton which isn't 
appropriate to the
source that had been un-tarred from rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.", perhaps I 
should delete everything and start over with just the rpm4.tar file in 
my /usr/rpm/rpm4/ dir. Am I correct in thinking that the only file I 
need to untar is rpm4.tar, and when I execute the extracted make file 
and there is no other rpm stuff in my directories, MAKE INSTALL should 
work?

Thanks,
RAW

Do I have any other options with the unzipped rpm-4.0.4_4.tbz mess I.ve 
already created?

You have a patch in the port skeleton which isn't appropriate to the
source that had been un-tarred from rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.

How did you get your ports skeleton anyway?
