Hi, I have just reinstalled my OS (3.0) In the /usr/ports/print directory for example there are packages that i would like to use but these packages have not been properly installed even though they are no longer in the compressed tar format. How do I get these packages to install properly? Do I need to reinstall the ports from the CD? An attempt to do a "make" in the /usr/ports/print directory failed with error messages suggesting that it did not find the appropriate packages in the correct format. There was even a suggestion of manually installing these packages into /usr/ports/disfiles directory which right now is empty.
