This means you don't have ruby-1.6.4 installed. Maybe you self-installed ruby, or installed an older version? When you update the ports tree, all subsequent builds from it will expect current package versions, although the builds won't stop if you have older dependencies. This is a safety feature to save you from having to rebuild everything whenever you want to build one thing. Either ignore the messages, because they mean nothing, or install the version of ruby that is asked for. -- Andrew Hesford ajh3@usrlib.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
