It might have been nice if you had also posted any pertinent portions of the log file also. There was a looping problem in a very old version of portmanager; however, supposedly it had been corrected. Portmanager will not update itself if I remember correctly. I believe you have to do it manually. I might suggest the following. Assuming you have the latest version of portmanager: 1) Update your ports tree 2) Clean out '/usr/ports/distfiles' Not really necessary; however, it cannot hurt. 3) If available, run: portsclean -CDLP 4) Run: portmanager -u -p -y -l Good Luck! -- Gerard [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ban the bomb.
