Problem upgrading from 4.6 to 5.0 - RELEASE (lib.a not found)
I've been running FreeBSD 4.6 since last June, and I decided to upgrade to 5.0 Release. I read through and followed the instructions listed in /usr/src/UPDATING. Here is what I did (as per the UPDATING file): cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC cp src/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC.hints /boot/device.hints make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC cd src/sys/boot make install The problem comes at the above command(s): cd src/sys/boot ; make install It goes through various files, but stops and says (I cannot copy and paste the output, so here it is typed): ... ===> i386/btx/lib install -c -o root -g wheel -m444 lib.a /usr/lib install: lib.a: No such file or directory *** Error code 71 ... You guys have been very helpful before, thank you in advance for looking at it! Any ideas? Thanks!

I should have also have said: I cvsupped to RELEASE 5 yesterday at about 8pm. I've looked for that file "lib.a" on my HDD, but I can't find it. I used: find / -name "lib.a" Thank you for your quick response, though, Scott, I appreciate it. Got any more ideas? Thanks in advance!
