I guess > I need to start over with a vanilla src tree from the CD? then make > buildworld etc.. right ? um, to my knowledge, no. not if you've got connectivity and cvsup installed. in fact, you don't even need to remove /usr/src, because cvsup should take care of everything for you (ie. remove wrong files, add necessary ones, leave correct ones). i suspect that your standard-supfile is to blame, if anything isn't working. it could be that you're inadvertently pulling down HEAD, which is by definition, not guaranteed to build. here is a copy of my file: -------- *default host=cvsup3.freebsd.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr/ *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_10 *default delete use-rel-suffix compress # 1) change cvsup3 for the host you want to use # 2) change RELENG_4_10 for the tag you want # i believe that RELENG_5_2 is the correct number in your case # this will pull down any security and other critical fixes based upon # freebsd 5.2.x src-base src-bin src-contrib src-crypto src-etc src-games src-gnu src-include src-lib src-libexec src-release src-sbin src-secure src-share src-sys src-sys-crypto src-tools src-usrbin src-usrsbin #src-all #src-kerberos5 #src-kerberosIV #src-eBones ------------ 1) you might find it easier to simple use 'src-all' and comment out or delete the rest of the src-* entries. 2) if you're using a refuse file, do double check that it's contents reflect what you actually want. if you're not _100%_sure_ whether or not you have one, try 'find / -name refuse -print' 3) depending on where you placed your config files, you may not be using the correct supfile. try feeding cvsup an absolute path, just to be certain. 'cvsup /foo/path/to/your/standard-supfile' hope this helps. cheers, epi > Thanks again > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to > "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
