Running 4.0 snap 06/24 I've about given up on the complexities of FreeWAIS as a local search engine and wanted to try webglimpse as an alternative. In the ports directory www/webglimpse, the `make' goes off with out a whimper, but `make install' fails loadly with: trying to build httpget... c -O -pipe -s -o lib/httpget lib/httpget.c c -O -pipe -s -o lib/html2txt lib/html2txt.c UILD SUCCESSFUL. RROR - Aborting install. Cannot create directory "/usr/local/www/cgi-bin/" ** Error code 2 top in /usr/ports/www/webglimpse. ** Error code 1 top in /usr/ports/www/webglimpse. *** Error code 1 I'm not that clear on how the ports mechanism works so don't have much of a clue where to begin debugging this. The directories in the complaint are actually made and have some files in them: ls -F /usr/local/www/webglimpse/ : .wgsiteconf dist/ lib/ At the bottom of the Makefile is a line that says: .include <bsd.port.mk> What is that and where is it?
