nmap -> error during compile

Hi, Upon compiling nmap (5.21_1) from scratch I got the following error: -- < Cut here > -- # make ===> Building for nmap-5.21_1 Makefile:341: makefile.dep: No such file or directory c++ -MM -I/usr/include/lua -I/usr/local/include/lua51 -I

Can somebody explain about the -p one sees in the output of the uname -r ? Under *exactly* what conditions the patch level changes to a new value after you applied a freebsd-update install ? Does -p only change if a) a change of the file /boot/kernel/kernel was part of the update or also if b)

It doesn't work. With, or without the MAILTO. Just for completeness, I have used this: MAILTO=gandalf The "gandalf" user is a local user on the system. I can send local mail to this user using the "sendmail" postfix program (checked twice). Cron is still not sending emails. Any idea
