Did you build a new INDEX-5 after you cvsuped ports-all? I am not running the release; however, as a test, I just tried making libmng and I was able to build it just fine on my "tag=." system. Ports was cvsuped and the INDEX files were created on 10 Mar @ 6:46 am. The only thing that has changed in libmng in 4 months was a script update of the Makefile to include the COMMENT= line. Was it the use of libmng that killed the build or building libmng? The port tree for 5.x now points to kde-3.1 and not the 3.0.5 version from the release. If you didn't rebuild the INDEX* files, you are probably still pointing to the 3.05 version in INDEX. When I created this system, I installed everything from packages. Rebuilding everything took masive amounts of time. It is an AMD 1600+ with 512 MB of memory. kent -- Kent Stewart Richland, WA http://users.owt.com/kstewart/index.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
