To reinstall the original make, there's 2 options. 1) if you compiled from sources, all you need to do is cp /usr/obj/usr/src/usr.bin/make/make /usr/bin/ 2) if you installed from CD, mount the cd, go to the /bin directory on the CD and issue the command cat bin.?? | tar --unlink -xpzf - -C / ./usr/bin/make G'luck, Ruben ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

How can I be sure the problem is really with 'make' and how can I fix the problem if it is? It seems that it can't interpret the Makefile enough, or that there is a dependency which has a missing }. Did you try updating the ports sources via cvsup? If not, perhaps you can try that so you will have latest ports sources, which might have this issue corrected. If not, you can also go to the ftp servers of freebsd, and download the /distfile you need (automake and autoconf for example) and install them with pkg_install That way you have a precompiled binary, which you can use, so that perhaps the issue goes away.

can I reinstall make?
I think the 'make' program on one of my machines (running FreeBSD 4.10) has gotten farkled. I made the mistake of running 'portupgrade -a' and now the whole system is a mess -- among other things it uninstalled my 'perl 5.8.5'. Actually, it uninstalled a lot of things and then quit on an error without reinstalling them. Luckily none of the things are things I use every day. When I ran 'portversion -c > needs.update' it told me I needed to upgrade both 'autoconf' and 'automake', so I switched to /usr/ports and ran: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports# make search name="autoconf" Missing }. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports# make search name="automake" Missing }. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports# cd devel/autoconf253 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf253# make install clean Missing }. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf253# cd ../../lang/perl5.8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8# make deinstall Missing }. This doesn't look good.
