I am rather new to FreeBSD and ports in general but I think there is a problem with xmms-1.2.1. Here are the steps I took which made me have a problem. Since the latest version of xmms I had in my /usr/ports/audio subdir was 1.0.x I went to the www.freebsd.org/ports page. I then found the 1.2.1 version, and dowloaded it, untarring it in /usr/ports/audio/xmms. I then did a make fetch and it tried to ftp a file named .tar.gz instead of the real xmms-1.2.1.tar.gz. I then d/l the file (the main src code for xmms) from one of the links that FreeBSD ports page suggested and saved it in /usr/ports/distfiles and tried a make again. It again tried to find some file which doesn't exist at any of the remote ftp servers, and didn't match the file I had just downloaded. I then changed a couple of things in the Makefile: Original was: PORTNAME= xmms PORTVERSION= 1.2.1 I updated it to: DISTNAME= xmms-1.2.1 and then did my make again and all went well, downloading and making other dependencies just fine. Here's a uname -a for ya: FreeBSD maddenca.dyndns.org 4.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.0-RELEASE #6: Sun Jul 9 15:44:28 CDT 2000 root@maddenca.dyndns.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/WSOUND i386 Let me know if I'm incorrect or if you need additional information.
