In addition to any other patching you're doing to the top-level configure script, look for the following 4 lines somewhere at the bottom of the script: case "$ac_given_INSTALL" in [/$]*) INSTALL="$ac_given_INSTALL" ;; *) INSTALL="$ac_dots$ac_given_INSTALL" ;; esac and nuke 'em -- after that, you'll be fine. See x11-fm/gnomemc/files/patch-aa for one of the many examples of this in the tree. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX. ade@FreeBSD.org FreeBSD: The Power to Serve http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
