Hi, Ok, so I've been spoiled by FreeBSD's great port system... More and more lately I seem to come across ports that insist on having required package (ie. perl) living in the ports directory (ie. /usr/ports/lang/perl5/work/perl5.005_02/ ) rather than their real home (ie. /usr/local/bin/perl ). The result is that if I make clean one port that requires perl (and subsequently make clean perl), the next port that needs perl insists on trying to rebuild it. Ok, so this isn't a huge deal because it's fairly trivial to work around, but I don't recall this happening as frequently in the past. Any reason I'm seeing this more often? Recent examples are MySQL and P5-DBI. Dave To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
