How to get a copy of the source for ports collections ----------------------------------------------------- Reading the documentation on "Installing Application"; "The port collection" 4.2. "How does the port collection work?" the following error message out put is shown as an example: >> ElectricFence-2.0.5.tar.gz doesn't seem to exist on this system. >> Attempting to fetch from ftp://ftp.doc.ic.ac.uk/Mirrors/sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/lang/c/. The `make' program has noticed that you did not have a local copy of the source code and tried to FTP it down so it could get the job done. I already had the source handy in my example, so it did not need to fetch it. this means: No local copy of the source is available on the system ! How is a copy of the source installed on the system? during installation when asked if you would like to install ports collections or is done afterwards? my machine keeps barfing-out the above message even though I have selected to install full sources and binaries and ports collection of selected types. please help me find the SOURCE of my difficulties. thanks daniel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
