portinstall is a ruby program which comes with portupgrade which you can use to build and install ports. It can do some things which you can't do with a simple 'make install'. For example, I often use portinstall to create packages for a port and its dependancies. See the portupgrade manual page for details about how to use it. You should also look at /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf for how to set more advanced configurations for your system. > thnk you in advanced -- Dominic GoodforBusiness.co.uk I.T.
