After it is completely installed, go look at /var/db/pkg/apsfilter-$version/+CONTENTS and find out where it installed everything, probably /usr/local/apsfilter or /usr/local/share/apsfilter Verify the files are actually installed there, then make distclean # again > > When I did the same thing tonight, connection was refused.

Likely, it never installed a single file outside of /usr/ports/print/apsfilter. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
