If you look through the CVS logs for those files, you should see when the change took place (adding the call to basename and requiring a nonexistant header). If you CVSup to the source tree right before those changes it should be able to compile. After you install that world, try cvsuping to the current -STABLE and try compiling again. I know I never hit a roadblock like this on my -STABLE machines that I kept more or less up to date, so theoretically this should work. This is unbelievably ugly however, and I'm hoping someone else on this list has a better idea. One hack approach that I do _not_ endorse is to download the missing header file and stick it in place. Then (in single user mode!) grab the newest libc and use it to replace your old libc. Then buildworld (hopefully not running into any problems) and install. This approach may leave your machine in an unusable state, so I can't recommended it. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
