 I'm getting this error when trying to install sysutils/lsof:

 Shouldn't machine be some sort of macro that points at the ARCH
 of the system lsof is being installed on?

        Having experienced this recently:
        The usual casue of this is the installed kernel(+world ??)
being out of sync with the contents of /usr/src.
        The solution is to rebuild/reinstall kernel(+world ??).
        Perosnally I think it's bad programming also ... but then I'm
not the one writing the code.


That doesn't make sense to me. vm.h is a src file. My src files are updated daily. Even if I rebuilt the kernel (this one has been recompiled twelve times already), the src files wouldn't change. The build error is complaining about not being able to find the header file for (I'm assuming) my architecture, not for some binary compiled during the kernel build.

Are you saying you rebuilt kernel and lsof built fine afterwards?

Paul Schmehl, If it isn't already
obvious, my opinions are my own
and not those of my employer.
