I built the python1.5.2 port with one change from the configuration that it comes with: I changed WITH_TK? = yes to WITH_TK? = no. The port built ok, and none of the tests failed (although some were skipped, as expected). The next step is to copy this working python to about a dozen other machines in the same lab. It seemed to me that the right way to do that would be to make a package of the newly built port. So, thinking that I was following the instructions on FreeBSD.org's webpage, I typed, "make package" in /usr/ports/lang/python. It worked for a few seconds, and then quit because of an error. I'm sorry, I didn't write down the message exactly, but the jist of it was that tar couldn't find a file named "_tk<something>. That makes it seem to me as if it's trying to make a package of the standard port *with* tk rather than my modified one. I suspect that I might get it to work if I edited the PLIST file by hand, but I'm hoping that there's a more automated (and therefore probably more accurate) way to get what I want. Any chance? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------- Jimmy Wilkinson | Perfesser of Computer Science jimmy@cs.CofC.edu | The College of Charleston (843) 953-8160 | Charleston SC 29424 If there is one word to describe me, that word would have to be "profectionist".
