I ran into the same thing a while ago. tconv fails because lib/libmytinfo has been retired. Seems like there are no plans to bring it back. There is an ncurses port in /usr/ports/devel/ncurses but it does not have tconv. Also, for FreeBSD version >= 4.0 it won't compile. As a workaround you can bring libmytinfo back from the dead and compile tconv as follows (do this as root). cd /usr/src/lib cvs up -d libtmyinfo -D'23 November 1999' cd libmytinfo make install cd /usr/src/usr.bin/tconv make install This assumes CVSROOT points to a proper CVS repository. Seems to work on a FreeBSD-4.5 system but I have not done much testing. -- bakul To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
