Thanks for the tips! Still having the same problem though... I have changed the tag in my supfile to: *default tag=RELENG_5_5 I then removed the directory '/usr/src/contrib/cvs' and ran cvsup again. But when I run 'make buildworld' I still get the previous error. ===> gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib sed -e 's,@CSH@,/bin/csh,' -e 's@PERL@,/usr/bin/perl,' /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs/contrib/../../../../contrib/cvs/contrib/Makefile.in > Makefile "Makefile", line 15: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue *** Error code 1 Stop in usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cvs. I assume this means it is not a problem with timestamps. What is causing this and is it easily fixed?
