Who are you building the port as? a regular user or as root? If not as root, try building it as root, because I had this exact same problem when I ran mergemaster with a umask of 0077. There is a file in /etc that make needs to be able to read, I can't remember the exact name at the moment. It contains the current version number of your FreeBSD. Maybe someone else on the list knows which file it is. Actually, if this is the case, the access denied error should proceed the error you sent us in the e-mail. In any case, if you make this file world readable again (644) your problem should go away. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Kiril Mitev Sent: Monday, February 28, 2000 11:52 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: "your system is too old" ?? Hello All I was trying to build a port and this is what I got: "Your system is too old to use this bsd.port.mk. You need a fresh make world or an upgrade kit. Please go to http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/ or a mirror site and follow the instructions. " fwiw, i did a buildworld/installworld end of Jan or so ... uname output: FreeBSD loki.ideaglobal.com 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #0: Tue Jan 18 19:26:29 GMT 2000 root@loki.ideaglobal.com:/usr/build/src/sys/compile/LOKI i386 So, does that really mean that I need a new buildworld, or does that mean I messed up the one I did ?
