Per Andrew P.'s suggestions, I've changed my ports updating scheme from cvsup to portsnap in order to address some problems I was having with interdependencies.
Unfortunately, I'm still running into trouble: no matter how I try to install mbstring (pkg_add, making/installing in the ports tree), it still fails. Here are the results after I resorted to a "portinstall -rRk php5-mbstring": ... ===> PHPizing for php5-mbstring-5.0.5_1 aclocal: not found *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/converters/php5-mbstring. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa /tmp/portinstall97852.15 make ** Fix the problem and try again. [Updating the pkgdb <format:bdb1_btree> in /var/db/pkg ... - 409 packages found (-0 +1) . done] ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed) ! lang/php5 (php5-5.0.0.a3_2) (install error) ! converters/php5-mbstring (unknown build error) ---> Packages processed: 0 done, 14 ignored, 0 skipped and 2 failed automake and autoconf are both installed. Not sure what else to do about "aclocal", or if that's truly the problem. Any ideas on the problem or a possible solution? I didn't reap much info from Google or the list archives.
