hi all, I'm running into problems installing packages on my 2.2.7 box. I am installing them via ftp from the ports collection, and I suspect the root of my problem might be because I get a bit confused when I unpack the file, 227upgrade.tgz. When I type "tar xvf 227upgrade.tgz ," I get a listing of all the files in the package, but I don't see a directory named "227upgrade," which is what I am used to seeing when I uncompress a file (ok, I'm sure those of you who've read my previous mails must know I'm quite new at this). How do I compile/make the upgrade to a stable version (as far as the ports are concerned, that is) I suspect the fact that I'm not adding the stable upgrade properly is the reason why I have problems with makefiles on my machine. When I su and try to gmake a port, say, for png, I get the following messages: highlow# gmake install clean Makefile:25: *** missing separator. Stop. highlow# Please help! Thanks! --Alissa running 2.2.7 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
