portsdb: index generation error
Hi all,
I downloaded a fresh ports.tar.gz and unpacked it (FreeBSD 5.1).
Then I did a portsdb -Uu
Which resulted in the following:
Updating the ports index ... Generating INDEX.tmp - please
wait..Makefile, line 26:
warning: String comparison operator should be either == or !=
Makefile, line 26: Malformed conditional (${OSVERSION} 502113 ||

failed to generate INDEX!
portsdb: index generation error
On my two other FreeBSD boxes (5.2 and 5.2.1) it worked without problem.
Any suggestions (I googled the net without luck)?
Cheers
Günther

Those are there unabbreviated. Sorry for not explaining that!

Kris Hi Kris, hi all, The snipped info was only a general note what I should do before reporting an error (any kind of error). Yes, so why didn't you follow the directions? Kris I'm not sure I understand. From what I see I do have a supported version of FreeBSD (5.1) and the ports collection was fresh. I should check that before reporting an error (according to the snipped text).

Kris No I don't since I followed the url and checked it before posting it. It worked two weeks ago when I last did exactly the same thing on this system. From what I can tell it hasn't changed. Could you please point me to the information I missed?

Re: Port upgrading - my way
Hi all, It seems like the message below doesn't belong on this list unless I completely misunderstood the purpose of it. If I'm wrong please let me know. Cheers snipped Taking into consideration other issues or options pointed out on the web tutorial, will this be a good strategy from now on for performing good port upgrades? Curtis Yes - this is more or less how I do mine. OK Curtis, What the heck are you doing, we just discussed this, Chris, I know better than this and so do you. You guys are supposed to be doing it my way. I think you're just trying to get in good graces with the list so you show up here instead of getting filtered into the bit bucket. snipped ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: cron not running my command?
'My' webalizer is in /usr/local/bin/ but then I use FBSD 5.1. Try with specifying where you have the configuration file ( -c path-to-config-file-and-filename). Eg. /usr/local/bin/webalizer -c /usr/local/www/conf/webalizer.conf I use it in a shell script and it works fine. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
