Hi LG: Thanks for the tip. I connected to www. Freebsd.org, sherched for rpm and got to a page with several rpm ports that can be downloaded. Since O have FreeBSD 6.0 I figured I could go for the latehast rpm which is 4.0.4_4. So I first downloaded rpm4.tar, and put it in my /usr/rpm/rpm4/ dir. rpm4.tar contains the makefile.Then I downloaded rpm-4.0.4_4.tbz and put it in my /usr/ports/ dir. But I could see that the make file was not interested in a tbz file so I connected to the internet and started make so it coul;d go get the file it wanted. Make did so. I think I also unzipped the rpm-4.0.4_4 tbz file. Somehow I ended up with two sub-directories to my /usr/rpm/rpm4 directory They are Files and Work. The files Dir contains a bunch of patch files. From what you said about "a patch in the port skeleton which isn't appropriate to the source that had been un-tarred from rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz.", perhaps I should delete everything and start over with just the rpm4.tar file in my /usr/rpm/rpm4/ dir. Am I correct in thinking that the only file I need to untar is rpm4.tar, and when I execute the extracted make file and there is no other rpm stuff in my directories, MAKE INSTALL should work? Thanks, RAW Do I have any other options with the unzipped rpm-4.0.4_4.tbz mess I.ve already created? -----Original Message----- From: Lowell Gilbert <freebsd-questions-local@be-well.ilk.org> To: RAW <solsyst@netscape.net> Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org; glewis@FreeBSD.org Sent: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 10:32:49 -0400 Subject: Re: Makefile for rpm-4.0.4_4 RAW <solsyst@netscape.net> writes: > This question is about a FreeBSD port that I cannot automake. > > Dear FreeBSDers; > > Tried to obtain, make and install Port rpm-4.0.4_4, on my new FreeBSD > 6.0.

You have a patch in the port skeleton which isn't appropriate to the source that had been un-tarred from rpm-4.0.4.tar.gz. How did you get your ports skeleton anyway? ___________________________________________________ Try the New Netscape Mail Today!
