I have written to Greg Lehey (trying to use his CFBSD) and Walnut Creek with out result. I've tried doing this creating sym-links. I've tried this according the handbook (p25), Complete FREBSD (p96), and his ever growing errata since the book was wrong. I get the same error everytime. As an example; xinvaders make install (from the xinvaders directory) /usr/ports/distfiles//xinvaders.tar.gz is a broken symlink Perhaps a file system (most likely CD) isn't mounted? Please correct problem. Error code 1 The only way I can install anything is by using pkg_add from the packages directory. Thank you.
