Check the archives. There was recently a thread on -CURRENT about 5 not building on a 4.x system. I believe the utilities in 4 (gcc et al) are too old to build 5's source tree, but check the archives for the details. For my part, I did a clean wipe of the drive and reinstalled. It was an unholy headache and I regret it, but now that I've got 5.1 running I'm pretty happy. Make sure to get 5.1, at least. A lot of issues have been resolved in 5.1 that existed in 5, and don't cvsup to HEAD on any machine that you need to work. The developers have been nice enough to put together a RELENG_5_1 branch that is relatively safe to follow. And subscribe to the -CURRENT mailing list as long as you're using it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You're better off waiting a week or two until 5.1-RELEASE is out. - jim -- jim mock[EMAIL PROTECTED]|opendarwin}.org[EMAIL PROTECTED]|FreeBSD}.org http://soupnazi.orgeditor-in-chief, BSD Newshttp://bsdnews.org ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
