Hi Greg,

        It worked with a full cvsup. Thank you!

|Maybe.  The base Makefiles in /usr/ports/Mk on my systems show that a number of

|ports-all couldn't hurt.

|Personally, I always just do ports-all and have done.  I got bit a couple of

|a dependency that fell within one of the excluded subtrees.  The 500 MB or so
|the complete ports tree takes may once have been a cause of concern, but with
|the drives of the last few years, a GB just isn't as impressive as it used to
|be... :-)

|Craig.
