Don't do make deinstall reinstall! Run make deinstall, than make config, disable the NLS option and then run make install.

Dear Sir, > > As bapt@ hints: try rebuilding binutils without NLS. > > -- > -- I have binutils installed without NLS. I ran make deinstall reinstall inside /usr/ports/devel/binutils/ and it deinstalls and it fails to reinstall because it depends on gettext :( Now I guess I am really in trouble. I am not using pkgng just ports. On three machines I am successfull, two 9.1-RELEASE-p1 and one 8.3-RELEASE, but this 9.1-RELEASE box I could not build some ports, I tried deinstall/reinstall options, and now I guess I am in a major problem, unless gettext starts to build soon, I uninstalled glib20, and tried reinstall it fails with gettext. There is a new version out, but it has not made it to ports :( I'll hang in there for a little while longer, but if it comes down to deleting and reinstalling all ports, I may do just that. Best Regards && Thanks for the suggestions and advice provided.

I ran the suggested pkg delete -f gettext, which instantly hosed sudo. (Why sudo has NLS on by default is beyond me. Why sudo isn't a static binary is another issue entirely.) However, su still worked & I the "portmaster" stage ran without difficulty. In a pre-pkgng world (& without portmaster) I would run "pkg_delete -f gettext && cd /usr/ports/converters/libiconv && make deinstall reinstall && cd ../../devel/gettext && make install" as root. Or some variation on that, perhaps involving -C (I've become addicted to abusing make -C ;) &/or a "clean" being added to the make arguments. -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Did you previously convert this machine to pkgng? The reason I ask is the instructions in UPDATING _only_ apply if you did so. If you did not, then you did not need to pay any attention to that section in UPDATING. I have not yet investigated the changeover to pkgng. I recently just did a portupgrade -a without doing as UPDATING suggested and had no difficulty with either port. So if you have not converted to pkgng then there is/was a misunderstanding in the reading of UPDATING. If you did convert to pkgng then you are in new territory I have not seen yet, and the point is moot. -Mike ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
