FreeBSD ports problem
I have been trying to install virtualbox support for my FreeBSD 9.1. A package named v4l_compat-1.0.20120501.tar.gz is causing problems in the installation. The package was downloaded automatically and it exists in /usr/ports/distfiles, yet it keeps giving an error stating that the file doesn't exist. Please help. *Harpreet Singh Chawla* ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Amitabh After deleting, you don't need to download it manually. The port should download it if needed. Try updating your ports tree to see if the problem has been rectified.
