I have my personal/beta ports in my home directory with no problems... try this and see what is amiss: pick-a-port (any port, but I'll use kmamerun since I just put it in) cp -r /usr/ports/emulators/kmamerun ~/testpackage cd ~/testpackage make sudo make install sudo make deinstall # etc. What part am I missing? -- Scott A.
