Truth to tell, I've never actually done that - i.e. a 'make clean' in the /usr/ports directory before attempting to install a port. Though I am very intimately involved with both the Makefile.inc as well as the works/ directory sticks in the wheels of attempting a virgin install. As to the 'make clean', I'm not so sure. I doubt that would allow me to install the new gnome 1.4 without further ado. Also, I'm conversing with someone who did actually manage to install the firebird port on two distinct machine. I'm trying to find out what the difference is. I'm betting on me having last done a CVSup on the 15th of februar, but the jury's still out. Ok, let's see. Ok, I saw. --- No, I did not. Period. Here're the saillant details.

OK, this is on a very recently CVSup'd 4.3 version. So what's the next step? Wait till hell freezes over? [Mind, I'm not knocking FreeBSD or the ports system, I'm knocking the idea that the ports system works fine without CVS. Subtle difference to be sure, yet one worth noting]. In fact, I'm parallel to this message carrying on an email discussion whith one who claim's to've installed this very port (no version numbers on either the port or the OS were mentioned) on two, count them - two, machines successfully. To which I replied, naturally, so what distinfo are you talking about and when's the last CVSup you performed?

Roelof PS OK, it's my fault. That's usual. I mean, I'm married. Yet, what is the fault I made exactly this time? -- _______________________________________________________________________ eBOAź est. 1982 http://eBOA.com/ tel. +31-58-2123014 mailto:info@eBOA.com?subject=Information_request fax. +31-58-2160293 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
