may be I have a clue but am not certain which step was responsible for finally getting apr to compile so I am going through what I did in the hope it may help I cannot guarantee I have remembered everything because it was spread over many hours whilst doing many other tasks!! 1. I revisited UPDATING and found I had skipped: 20090802: AFFECTS: users of devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 AUTHOR: m...@freebsd.org The devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 ports have been moved to libtool22 and libltdl22 respectively then updated to 2.2.6a. You will need to run portmaster or portupgrade to properly perform the upgrade: and followed the instructions there. 2. I did portupgrade -af 3. I then deinstalled devel/apr. 4. I deinstalled and recompiled python2.6 5. I then recompiled devel/apr and voila!! david _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
