Hello. I've been using FreeBSD for a number of years now on i386 and recently am having plenty of problems building ports. Either they don't build and complain this or that is missing, or ask taht I download and install x or y port first (sometimes this is already there and never happend in the past), etc. I've deleted and FTP'd the whole ports distribution, to no avail on 4.9, 4.10 and on 5.3. There is always some port that screws everything up for me. On 5.3 I upgraded the whole ports tree with CVS, did a portsdb -uU, then a portupgrade -arR and finally a pkgdb -F (just in case). Here is my 5.3 cvs-supfile: *default host=cvsup2.freebsd.org *default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_5_3 delete use-rel-suffix compress src-all tag=. Has anyone had this happen lately or am I just doing everything wrong? Appreciate any help with steps in ugrading the ports with the correct ones if mine are wrong. I used those recommended by the folks at O'Reilly LAMP. Thanks. Guillermo
