As I said, I am at "etc" - end of thinking capacity ;) I read this: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2006-November/036801.html I have done the following: mkdir -P ~wash/ports/firebird/usr && chown -R wash ~wash/ports/firebird cd /usr/ports/databases/firebird2-server make WRKDIRPREFIX=~wash/ports/firebird install I also added this line to /etc/make.conf: SU_CMD= /usr/local/bin/sudo /bin/sh -c .... and still no luck! What do you suppose I could be missing from the man page? It's the clue I am missing. -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ We don't know who discovered water, but we're certain it wasn't a fish.
