You say "of course", and it is probably obvious to you, but the is something that is preventing the 'make config' from working. There is no special magic involved. So something, probably something trivial...so trivial no one has thought to check it, is wrong. OK. You are root. You have X running (though this is utterly irrelevant as far as I can see). Have you looked at the /var/db/ports to confirm whether virtualbox-ose is present and writable. (Normally 755). Does it contain an "options" file. If so, is it protected at 644? If not present, is /var/db/ports system writable and executable? Can you do 'make config' on other ports? There is nothing special about the 'make config' in this port. If you can do 'make config' for other ports, you should be able to do it for virtualbox-ose. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
