Wanted to ask a quick FreeBSD question. All my port installs fail like =
this:
[root@vs146 /usr/ports/category_name/port_name]# make install
<Finds the dependencies and runs most of the install with no problem>
=3D=3D=3D> Checking if category_name/port_name already installed
pkg_info: illegal option -- O
usage: pkg_info [-cdDfGiIkLmopqrRsvVx] [-e package] [-l prefix]
[-t template] [-W filename] [pkg-name ...]
pkg_info -a [flags]
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/category_name/port_name.
This article seems to address the subject and suggests running FreeBSD =
4.7 or later (I'm running 4.8-release though)
http://news.gw.com/freebsd.questions/148464
It looks as though the "-- O" option after pkg_info simply doesn't =
exist, but was entered in the script anyway.
The system can't interpret "-- O", so it treats it as an error and quits
Any recommendations would be much appreciated.
