There is no target "searchname". I suspect that it simply tried to build *ALL* the ports and eventually died when it got to Perl. The correct command should be "make search name=kde3.4" (note the space). This won't give you any results, because there isn't a port with "kde3.4" in the name. But a "make search name=kde" will give you some info on a whole bunch of ports with "kde" in the name. > After my system hits this point I can't install anything from the > ports system, above mentioned packages included, because they don't > exist.

If you can't get anything to install, you may want to remove all installed ports (pkg_delete), blow away your ports tree, install Perl from a brand new cvsup'd ports tree, and start over. p.s. A recent update to Perl caused all sorts of nastiness in the ports tree, which required special steps to upgrade. This probably caused a few of your problems. -- David Johnson ___________________ http://www.usermode.org _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list [email protected] http://freebsd.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd
